Description

Stan and Joan Cross Park is the first of its kind in the Frederickson, Washington. Pierce County Parks turned two 1930s-era barns into a beautiful new community center. Next door to the center is a playground that features synthetic turf and a custom wood playground. A sandpit is fitted with interactive activities like a water table and drums.

On the other side of the park is the Naches Trail Preserve, which features a walking trail for families.
