    A fun park in the middle of a residential neighborhood. We came in late on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too crowded. There was no lot on the side we entered on (maybe on the Shoreline CC side?) so we parked on the street right in front of the trail head. We opted to take the hidden lake trail first. It wound through this beautiful, shady, forested path complete with a giant douglas fir that was breathtaking. This trail parallels the river for some time, then crosses over it via strategically placed stones. My kiddos were able to traverse this part of the trail quite easily. Unfortunately a portion of the trail was washed out, so we weren't able to make it all the way to the hidden lake. I did see people coming up from that direction, I assume they just waded in the stream, it's not very deep at all. On the way back, I had the brilliant idea to take a side path which ultimately led us to THE CREVASSE OF DOOM aka, the place where my heart stopped beating momentarily. Okay, it's not really that scary, but with my pup's leash in one hand and my 7 year old's hand in the other, the silty soil made for a few moments that were dicier than I'd have liked. This path also took us across a felled tree spanning the water (verrry dirty dancing) and up a pretty steep incline before we were firmly on the marked path again. Word of caution: the side paths are fairly overgrown, so be prepared to dance with bramble. I wore shorts and paid the price. Also, the marked paths are not very marked, bring a compass or use the GPS on your phone. As mentioned in previous posts, some people let their dogs roam off leash, and they don't pick up after their pups (grrr!) so, just be aware. I really enjoyed our adventure in the woods, I'm looking forward to going again (and I'll probably take another side path!).

    We wanted a local place to walk the dog and found this. We didn't have plastic for the dog poop so thankful that they had some available I like the many trails available to explore. Reaching the creek was the highlight. We stayed there a bit and enjoyed the scenery. It was a downhill and uphill exercise when you're done. The trail loops so you can have a short hike or long depending on your mood. Glad it was a nice day today and Duke enjoyed the fun in the water

    Lost in shoreline?

    I had been thinking I needed to get off my a..., and take the dog for a walk. Quit being so lazy and get out there. I heard about Boeing creek from a friend and the hidden lake on the trail. So I packed up the car with my husband, grand daughter and of coarse the very excited dog, who loves anything that gets her away from the house. When we arrived we are not sure we were at the right place. There are tennis courts and a kids play area, but we got out of the car and found a map with a few different trails to chose from. We headed for the lake. Which was not hard to find. It was clean and a great destination for the day. Claire, who is 6, and the dog played in the lake scaring the ducks. After awhile we decided to head out taking the Loop around the park instead of going back the way we came in. The trail was beautiful as is went along the creek running down to the lake below. As we went up and around we kept expecting to see the way out to the parking lot but it started to look like we where lost. I was in a state of denial really , I mean how do you get lost in Shoreline. We are not new to hiking but we typically do not wear flip flops out in the woods but this was a city park. We ended up on a road on the other side of the park and thought about hitch hiking or calling for a pizza but we, the adults, we're not giving up that easily. Claire was a different story she was done. "her legs hurt" she needed a rest, blah, blah , blah. So like a good Papa my husband picked her up and put her on his shoulders. The poor man was exhausted as we climbed and looped around then came upon a parking lot. Whoo hoo. ... Wrong parking lot, how big is this park? We were at the Community College at the very top of the trails (I think, I am definitely not the expert on this adventure). We had to reevaluate our position and find our original start point. After a short rest by the fountain on the college campus we headed back on another trail, this time heading down or so we thought. Soon we came to a bench with a view of the sound, a beautiful view. So we took a seat pondering our situation. There were 2 paths one less traveled that went straight down and another long dark twisting trail That is when we heard it, balls bouncing, a tennis court from down below. We got up Papa put Claire on his shoulders because her legs hurt or so she kept telling us and we head straight down what at 1st looked like a trail but turned out it wasn't. The decline was so steep I was sliding down and had to take off my shoes to find a good footing. But the further we went the better I could see it ... The TRUCK!! I looked back and saw Papa, my husband sliding on his but with Claire on his shoulders still .complaining and a little scared. Finally we emerged out right behind the tennis courts. We made it out alive:). Claire saw the kids play area and took off running with Venus , our dog close behind Miraculously cured of her ailments she climbed, jumped and went down the slide. What an adventure! Who new at the start if the day we would have found a place to explore and an experience to remember after time very fondly. We will go back but next time we will be better prepared.

    This park has literally everything you could want. There are tennis courts, soccer fields, baseball fields, and lots of trails. I come here a lot to walk my dog on the trails and there's a lot to explore. You really feel like you're hiking with the hills and the creek that goes through the park. Take the hidden lake trail, as it goes right along the creek and there are some pretty views.

    Very Hilly

    So whether you go the super steep way, or the easy way the ending is pretty fun. Don't get mixed up, when you first enter Shoreview Park, if you keep going straight it will take you right, down a very steep hill, then you have to cross a log and just stay next to Boeing Creek to get to a beautiful Lake called Hidden Lake. Now if you decide to go straight then left, it will be a much easier way to get down and it has stairs. It's your choice!

    I have come to Shoreview Park throughout my life for a variety of active purposes, be it as part of…read moremy soccer team, track and field practice, taking the dog for a walk/run on-leash, getting in running shape, and taking/doing biodiversity plots as part of my Environmental Science class at Shoreline Community College. There are a number of play fields, two set-up for baseball/softball and one we used for soccer games. The grassy unfenced baseball field serves as a good place for running drills and soccer warm-up. Prior to the addition of the playground by the soccer field there used to be a grassy area where we could stretch and do some warm-up exercises. There is a trail/path around the outside of the soccer field that I have paced and is approximately 0.2 miles (without cutting corners) so five laps makes a mile. I find this field to be a perfect place to get back into running shape. It is tucked away from the road, so it does not feel like one is running on display for the roadway. Trails to the North/Northeast take you to Boeing Creek Park, and trails to the East/Northeast take you to the Shoreline Community College Off-Leash Dog Park (also called the Shoreview Off-Leash Dog Park). Trails to the North/Northwest/West of the athletic fields take you past Hidden Lake. I came here recently, this past Saturday the 30th of May 2020, and today, the 1st of June 2020. On Saturday it was raining and I brought the dog, Schatzi the Münsterländer, along with me to walk a little ways on the trails, do some exploring, and run a few laps together. Schazti was soaking wet by the end and when I went to grab a towel from the trunk of the car she was so excited to get someplace dry she jumped right in. I got her to go to the back seat, and had the towels to wipe her down. None of the fields get particularly muddy, so it was mostly plant and grass that stuck to her fur and some dirt that I had to worry about when she got in the car. Today I came to run a few laps on my own and explore the park a little more as it has been a while since I had last done that. I arrived around 9:40 a.m. and left around 10:10 a.m. By the time I was leaving the parking lots were starting to fill up. Busy place on a clear day and a healthy reminder that summer is coming! A fun park with a variety of offerings that change with the seasons so there is always something to do or explore no matter the time of year.

    I didn't know about Shoreview until I moved to Shoreline. It's definitely underappreciated, which…read moreis good for me to avoid crowds, etc. There's tennis and pickleball courts, a dog park, athletic fields, trails, and even a (gross) lake nearby. Shoreview is probably the same size as Magnuson, but shadier, so it provides much needed relief on sunnier and/or hotter days. Since it's so big, there's always parking available in multiple places throughout. If you want flat trails, there's those. If you want elevation, there's trails that go up higher, too.

I don't know why, but I have always been scared crossing the bridge over the railroad tracks on the way from the parking lot to the beach. I have no fear of heights, and in fact I feel much more peaceful in the air or on the water than I do on the earth. The bridge is sturdy and safe, with tall, secure fencing on both sides. Little kids were crossing it today with no fear at all. One little kid was getting pulled across it in a large wagon. That was pretty cute to see. It is a bit of a trek from the parking lot to the beach area, a trek that includes this perfectly safe bridge which I somehow mysteriously feel scared while walking on. I recently injured my right heel playing tennis, so I was limping and hobbling and walking quite slowly, but this walk was still quite doable for me today. There were a lot of people at this beach park today, but it really didn't feel crowded, and everyone we talked to was friendly. The only slight bummer was that one of the reasons that we went out there today was to talk with a Naturalist from the Seattle Aquarium. We talked with 3 different Naturalists. They were all friendly enough, but all 3 of them seemed noticeably unenthusiastic about talking about the sea life at this beach park. Oh well, we moved on pretty quickly from that, and we really enjoyed this beach park anyway. There were a few people flying kites, and the mountains looked clear and bright behind the sunlit water. I waded in the water (one of my favorite things to do in life), and the cold waves breaking over my legs and feet felt wonderful on a hot day like today. 5 stars for sure. This place is so beautiful.

We didn't realize these were trail markers until towards the end of our walk today... we ended up going in the reverse direction around the trails. Runners, dog walkers, children in camp, and walkers abounded this morning. Along one of the trails there are restoration in progress areas where one can get involved in environmental stewardship if so inclined. Posted signs provide contact information on where to seek more information about this. The birds loved this portion of the trail and we heard a variety of different bird songs as we traversed this area. Wildflowers and plants in the park were beautiful and captivated my attention while exploring. On a more industrial note, there are big guns (I call them cannons) from the 1800s located by the playground. An essential stop if you want a fun photo-op and to learn a little bit of war history on your visit. My mom and I both enjoyed our visit today, Tuesday the 21st of July 2020, and found Hamlin Park a place we both are interested in revisiting. The parking lots didn't have many cars when we arrived around 9 a.m. but by the time we left, a little after 10 a.m., the parking lot we had parked in was about half full. The morning sun and cool air was very refreshing for a forecasted hot day.

One day a duck flew over the lake, then in front of us, twisting in midair so its feet faced us then flew back to the lake and landed as if to say, hey I'm not afraid of you two. Schatzi just looked at me and was mildly amused by the duck, she looked more interested in going swimming. The lake has been closed to swimming and wading for a while due to pollution issues, so keep that in mind when visiting. Trails from Shoreview Park, from Boeing Creek Park, and Innis Arden Way are the easiest way to access Hidden Lake. If you are a bird air access might be easiest and if you are a salmon water access from Boeing Creek may be the easiest. During the Spring and Summer it is especially fun to come here and look for ducks and their babies.
