When a nice day is on the horizon, people come out. Sunshine beckons.
In Issaquah Highlands, the question is which park shall we go to???? Let’s see, there is
CENTRAL PARK………… DAHLIA PARK…………. SUMMIT PARK…………….
HARRISON PARK……….. VILLAGE GREEN…………….. ASHLAND PARK
BLACK NUGGET PARK……….. RAVENNA PARK…………. or perhaps
BARK PARK…………… LOGAN PARK…………. MAGNOLIA PARK……….
GRANDVIEW PARK………… KIRK PARK…………. MULBERRY PARK
Which do you go to? What is your idea of the best park in Issaquah Highlands?

To me, these are the top 10 reasons Issaquah Highlands is so popular:
1– J J Putz lives here. (now I have to list 11)
2– They are going to build a second road out of here. (now I have to list 12)
3– The variety of homes and options for living that are available.
4– Easy access to I -520
5– It is mostly well maintained. Some parts don’t have home owners associations, and their yards can look a little bad, but that is rare.
6– The shopping center we believe will come some day will wrap up a pretty convenient place to live.
7– The views: So many lots have them. Those that don’t have ample ways to particpate.
8– Nice big yards. OK, I lied here, except there are a few of the 2.5 acres pieces yet to buy.
9– Small parks big park…. Evan one called Bark Park. They are all over the place. That makes up for the small yards doesn’t it?
10– Sidewalks and walking trails. This type of planning makes the community more walkable, even a bit hostile to vehicles, as the roads get a little tight. It reminds me of Andreas – Duany architects model communities.
11– Resale values. So far no community has had better results in King County.
12– Wildlife: Most of us have seen the deer in our yards. Some of us the bear. All of us the Geese. Some of us the Heron and the (what is that guy that flies straight to the water and looks like an arrow going straight down?) the uh uh uh (time for google) Osprey. Have you seen the buffle head ducks, we have. Walk behind The Cottages in Katsura and you will see numerous types of birds, it is like an aviary. I don’t like the bullfrogs and noise, thank you Heron and Osprey, you have done your duty I think.
What is your opinion?

These are just a few of the parks in Issaquah Highlands. There are many areas to run and play. Some have playground equipment, some have picnic tables, Ashland Park below even has this stepping stone wadding area. There are areas set aside for soccer fields and baseball games. I will be adding to this post because there are many more than I show here.
