Hawks Landing
Well, the secret is probably out, but with good reason. The unique new playground called Hawks Landing is so cool, it warrants a visit from anywhere. In all our playground reviews over all these years, we’ve never seen a main play structure like this. It’s a bright green elevated net climber tube tunnel thingie. Get it? Decorated with faux trees, it’s perhaps supposed to feel like a canopy walk atop the forest. Or could it be a huge green snake, resting among the treetops? It doesn’t matter. Your kids will go wild for it.
Find Hawks Landing in the planned community of Tehaleh, in Bonney Lake. The playground is part of the development, but it — and all other parks and trails in Tehaleh — are open to the public.
