I love this little trail. It is a beautiful, well maintained trail with lots of neat things to see. We saw several neat mushrooms, a slug, a creek, bridge, fairy house, and many neat plants and gorgeous trees. It is definitely worth going.
It was a perfect mild hike with my husband and two young children under 5. They did well, although my youngest had to be carried a short while. It can be a little slippery with the loose soft dirt, pine needles, and tree roots the first part of the trail. I would caution parents to be vigilant of smaller children who are less than safety conscious and suggest proper shoes with traction.
Besides one couple we passed on the way back, we had the trail to ourselves. We put on our masks and were able to keep our distance and allow them to pass with plenty of room. There are parts of the trail that are narrow and would not allow for passing while maintaining social distancing, so I encourage you to bring masks and have them ready to slip on in case. The playground us closed with tape around it.
GPS tends to lead you past it. If you are heading there from Bremerton you'll see a sign on your right for the outdoor theater a little ways after the train tracks. Shortly after that you'll see a small sign on your left for it. The turn in has a house with lots of neat treasures in their yard. It throws you off because you wouldn't imagine the park is back there, but it is correct.
