Near the front of the park, a wetland boardwalk crosses a sensitive area between the parking lot and the picnic area. At the back of the park, a walking trail crosses over the recently restored Ebright Creek. The creek is of high environment value as it is the only remaining salmon-bearing creek in Sammamish. The creek is currently known to support coho and sockeye salmon, coastal cutthroat and rainbow trout.
