Gardeners and Birdwatchers Unite At New Park Opening
This fall, explore a new park buzzing with amenities that will challenge your mind, body, and friends. Conveniently located between the 55+ age-qualified neighborhood, Trilogy® at Tehaleh®, and Wesley Homes’ newest retirement campus, Wesley at Tehaleh, our most recent park will captivate nature enthusiasts of all age.
Whether you’re looking for an energizing experience or a relaxing pastime, Reflection Park allows you to choose your adventure — even while social distancing. Stroll the forested paths within the park that wind over wetland boardwalks and through serene open space, or extend your expedition onto the community’s extensive trail system through alpine meadows that climb to Mt. Rainier scenic views.
Shake up your typical exercise routine on the two low impact fitness stations within the park. Take in nature while you maintain flexibility and range of motion on the stretching equipment intended to improve coordination and core body strength. Turn up your sweat by changing the level of resistance on the chest and back press machine designed to increase cardiovascular health and upper body strength.
Reflection Park lends itself to spend some time. Linger with a borrowed book from the little neighborhood library bookcase or challenge your mind and friends to a game of chess or checkers at the gameboard tables. The winner can barbecue lunch at the picnic pavilion.
Gardeners and birdwatchers will unite in the scenic landscape abounding with a variety of vibrant plants methodically selected to bloom throughout the year. Stroll among the native dogwood trees, rhododendrons, Oregon grape, and huckleberry that are known to nourish the local pollinators. Keep a lookout for the unique species hiding among them, such as the lip-stick red flowers with a white eye of the crimson kisses shrub or the color-changing foliage of heavenly bamboo. Take time to smell the mysterious flower of the aromatic western wild ginger plant and discover the bell-shaped pink and white flower growing from a red stem of the always fun to say, kinnikinnick. If you sit long enough, you may find company among the eye-catching butterflies, busy honey bees, fluttering hummingbirds, striking towhees, inquisitive robins, musical finches, and foraging bats that are searching for the abundance of nectar and pollen among these plants.
