Mike • July 3, 2010Great place to play volleyball. Courts are well maintained and sand is pretty nice. Sand is tilled on a regular basis, and all levels from novice to open level of play available depending on day.

Catherine Z. • April 6, 2020Clean and well maintained

Mike E. • May 12, 2013If you want a great 2 hour hike in the valley, start from either 104th Street Access or Lost Dog Wash-- this is the midpoint. A good 4 hour hike is to go from 104th St to Lost Dog Wash and back, too.

Lauren K. • October 3, 2013Great dog park! Two sections to separate active and passive dogs. Everyone is nice and manages their dogs as best as they can. I wish I lived closer!

Kelli • November 6, 2018Cute area to bring out of town guests to eat and walk around. Tourist type shops.

Bradley D. • May 29, 2014If you go for an early morning run, pay attention to the east. Run on the side closest to the sun so you don't get the double whammy of sun and reflected sun off the canal. Great, flat running!

Allen • February 17, 2011Great dog park for the little dogs since not a lot of people go here
