It's mainly one big play structure, a sandbox and one of those merry-go-round things that kids love (and makes grownups want to hurl). There's some swings, picnic benches and a huge grassy are. Easy to get to from Cap Hill or Madrona/Madison Park if you don't live in the Central Area. Plus there's a nice coffee shop nearby or you could stop off at Ezell's for some fried chicken and make a picnic out of it.

Some spots have nice views of Lake Washington. There's a nice little picnic spot near one of the west entrances. Parking is limited, but the park doesn't seem to be overused, so it's enough. I like the parking on the west side of the park better than the spot on West Lake Sammamish Parkway, but the latter is good too.

The multiple trail options allow for exploration, although a truly scenic loop within the park itself seems to be lacking. We ended up exiting the park and walking back through the surrounding neighborhoods to complete our loop, which felt a little unconventional, but the residents were surprisingly friendly and welcoming. A significant drawback of the main trailhead is the extremely limited parking. For future visits, I will definitely explore alternative parking options around the park's perimeter, as there doesn't seem to be a strong necessity to begin at the designated main entrance given the park's layout. During this visit, we didn't venture down to the lake or explore all the various routes, but the trails we did experience were peaceful and scenic. There were a few sections that presented some minor challenges due to curvy inclines covered in roots and uneven ground, requiring a bit of careful footing. Overall, Weowna Park offers a pleasant and serene hiking experience. While the lack of a dedicated scenic loop and the parking situation at the main trailhead are points to consider, the park's natural beauty and friendly neighborhood make it a worthwhile destination. Especially for a quick weekend walk. They allow pets, but be sure to keep them leased and bring clean up bags because that's also required.

The trail down on the right side (when facing the park) is much more steep and snakes around, while the trail on the left side is shorter with a slighter incline/decline. I'd recommend heading up or down from the left end unless you're an avid hiker. While both paths are paved, the space could really benefit from some beautification or sculptures, although it was very quiet and peaceful. There is an odd little pit on the left side with quite a bit of seating, but it's not clear if it was once used for bonfires or if it's meant as a sand pit for children. Either was it was a nice little hike with a gorgeous view.

So I walked into the cesspool of all bathrooms and to my amazement in this most grotesque places, I discovered 2 condom machines.

Well, as I gagged at the aromatic smells I did take the time to get a photo prior to my escape. An no I don't not make a purchase. Back to the fields, both are newer turf but it's kinda beat up. But at least it's not dirt fields. Lights aluminate the field for night games so no worry's about playing at night. Well, if your cruising in the valley and need to glove up now you have a late night location to purchase some live gloves for your date.

We weren't fans of Genesee Park and Playfield…read more This park is essentially one big open area with no water features, sculptures, or general culture to the space. On a weekend in the fall, it only seemed to be used for locals to ride their dirt bikes on and was otherwise generally empty. My main "eh" was that it doesn't seem to be a safe area as Rainier Ave seemed fairly dicey and while they do have a playset, it's the most remarkable thing about the space. If you're in the area, Seward Park is a much better bet, and overall I'd skip this park unless you're here for soccer with a group.

Someone told me summer in Seattle is the best of the best, and a visit to this park (and generally speaking Mercer island) is a must.

I didn't know anything about Kobe Terrace so it was a nice bonus as we were coming here just to check out the community gardens. The wavy chairs down at the bottom of the park is cool as well as all the woodwork around the bottom entrance which is right next to those chairs. As we went up the stairs that reach the top of terrace and through the community gardens we enjoyed all of the greenery and the informational plaques as we made our way. At the top of Kobe Terrace there is a beautiful stone lantern at the top. We definitely took some pictures of it. Apparently going off of some of the pictures other reviewers have made it's beautiful here in the Spring as many of the trees are blooming trees, it looks like cherry blossoms to be specific and it looks so amazing and enchanting strolling through those trees from those pictures so that's definitely something to keep in mind!

It is tricky to review Kobe Terrace. It is a tidy little park that if you come in late March, maybe…read moreearly April, it is heavenly. The place is FILLED with cherry blossom trees. Sure, UW has them, but this place doesn't have the crowds. We were there in late March. Some of the petals have fallen. With every breeze, more petals would fall as though it's raining petals. In Japan, the favorite viewing of cherry blossoms is not necessarily at the peak of the blossoms, but it's just a bit past the prime, exactly at this time of falling petals. We stumbled on this time at Kobe Terrace, and it was just the best. The ground is white-ish with the infinite petals. They also have wave benches and a lantern from Kobe, Japan. So, what's the catch? Well, this park attracts 'others', too. You are very likely sharing space with them. Hey, it's a public park; they can sit on the benches, too. With every breeze, you might pick up extra scent. Enough said. Just be mentally prepared. An Asian gentleman was doing tai chi at the park. Good for him. I am happy to see a local enjoying the park. A group of five young ladies were happily snapping photos of the cherry blossoms. Yay for them. I will likely return during cherry blossoms season. I doubt I would return during other times of the year. It barely feels safe in the daytime because this park is in a corner, backed up against I-5, away from any visible crowds or street traffic. It's always shaded from much visible light. There are several low-income housings nearby, but very few choose to spend time at this park. It is fine if you are in a group. Side note: Adjacent to the park is the Danny Woo Community Garden, tended to by several local communities.
