Sticking with our Southend park tour, our next stop is just a little further south from the Portland Avenue Park, the Dawson Playfield in Midland, WA. This is a real hidden gem for those seeking play equipment; the playground boast a ton of options from slides to climbing structures and swings. Adjacent to the playground is a large covered picnic area perfect for watching kids during our rainy NW days. Dawson Playfield also has tennis courts (although they needed to be resurfaced), basketball hoops, baseball field (once again the surface was pretty dicey), and a small gravel walking path. This park is not huge but because of the play equipment is a recommended stop for families in the Midland, Tacoma or Puyallup areas.
