Memorial Field has a long history in Issaquah. It is rather ironic that the field that was once the home of a rodeo now has a toddler park where all the playthings have rounded edges are are designed to prevent liability lawsuits from injury.

Make sure you stop by the Gilman Town Hall and Issaquah Depot museums for a closer look at the history of the area.
