Spring-like weather in the high 50s and bright sunshine over the weekend didn’t break records, but the warmth coaxed families and friends outside to enjoy the day at Issaquah’s Tibbetts Creek Park.

Warming up at the Tibbetts Creek ball fields, Richard McIlvaine and his son, David were conducting some last-minute baseball spring training before Issaquah High School varsity baseball team tryouts on Feb. 22. David, a 15-year-old sophomore, was happy to be out in the sunshine.

“Getting out on the field is a lot different than the batting cages,” David said, before belting a slow pitch from his father over home plate past the outfield fence.

The father-son pair weren’t the only ones taking advantage of the weather for sporting reasons. Down on the nearby tennis courts, Issaquah High students and friends Amber Lee and Sylvia Jarsinski were trading volleys and getting ready for the tennis season.

Meanwhile, in a wide, grassy field nearby, nine-year-old Nalu Zou was racing around in lazy circles, trying to catch an oversized yellow and black frisbee thrown by his mother, Lucy.

At the other end of the park at the children’s playground, father Louis Mark, 33, was propelling his two-year-old daughter Luna with gentle pushes on the small swing set. He had picked her up earlier from a nearby Montessori school and was headed home when they stopped for an impromptu play date.

“She calls this place the ‘Blue Playground’,” he said. “She wouldn’t let me drive past it this time.”
