Disc golf is the type of sport that looks like it was created in the Bed-Stuy projects. Everything…read moreis rusty, the "holes" are chain links, there is dog crap everywhere, and the trash is overfilled with cheap beer. This was my second time playing, and the first at North SeaTac Park. I'm pretty good at Disc Golf, and by good I mean bad, and by pretty I mean hideous. I'm hideous bad at Disc Golf. Playing this game is humbling because I rock the shizzle out of pretty much everything else in life, including spelling words all gangsta-like. I'm terrible at this. I'm like construction paper. North SeaTac is supposed to be some expert course, because there are trees pretty much everywhere. The park used to be so difficult that some golfer snuck in at midnight with chainsaw and actually cut down half of the trees without city permission. The city is getting pissy and wants to retaliate by turning the land into a dog park. We broke into teams, which is designed to minimize the damage of a bad throw. Yet like a Dyson I never lost my suck, and managed to still have some pretty abysmal drives, puts, and approaches. I did avoid the mud like a champ though, and only hit nearby children in the face thrice. The park itself is in disrepair and there are very few parking spots near the first hole. The course is fun though. The trees make everyone terrible - even the players with experience. My buddies used to play every week for years, and they still went straight into the trees on several occasions, if not every hole. Neat place, I'd go again, but it would be nice if the park was more not ugly.

This is specifically a review of the softball fields. It's really nice to have 3 fields together…read morefor softball purposes, and the grass in the outfield is fairly well maintained (although the ground is uneven), but other than that the field needs a big upgrade. The dirt infields are terrible. Around the bases and home plate are like a sandbox into the 1st game of the day, let alone several games later. It's a hazard trying to run around the bases here because you don't know what kind of surface your foot is coming down on, and several people end up pulling or twisting something they wouldn't have if the ground was solid. Supposedly turf is a few years out (it was a few years out a few years ago too), and that'll solve these issues. But, until then it's a convenient place to play, but really not great. Also, while they have a few water fountains by the fields, none of them work. You have to walk all the way to the bathrooms by the parking lot to get water. Finally, parking can be a major issue here if there is soccer, softball, and cricket all going on (or some variation thereof). There's a ton of wasted woodchipped areas between the existing parking lot and fields that should be converted to additional parking.

Westcrest Park Off-Leash Area - Put this kind of thing up between small dog fence & big dog entering. Keep the peace? (Entrance is a poor design - not good for politics.)

I am new to owning a dog so I obviously am new to dog parks too! Westcrest was the first one I took…read moremy pup to and so far, we love it! When it is sunny, I take advantage of the weather and head here and it seems like a lot of people do the same. I appreciate everyone here being so nice and welcoming, offering to let me the ins-and-outs of the place, showing me the main area as well as the small dog area, and the amount of fixtures the dogs can play on at this park. Only downside is that the parking lot for the big dog area is a little small but seems like most people park on the street or in the small-dog lot of need be. Can't wait to come here during the summer and meet more furry friends!

It's a pretty decent size, with multiple water stations, a small-dog gated area, training area,…read morelarge clearings, and wide trails. There are many entrances along the perimeter from the park or the Greenbelt Trails. I recommend using the entrance from the parking lot on SW Cloverdale & 5th Ave Sw. The Off-Leash area was closed for half a year to improve irrigation. The outcome created the gravel layer, updated the fencing area the play areas but it also limited trash access, sometimes leaving piles of dog bagged waste. Disappointed with the lack of dog-park-related improvements (water stations, benches, dog bags, etc.).

A visit to Lincoln Park along the shores of Puget Sound is a wonderful way to spend time outdoors…read morein Seattle. The park offers complimentary parking lots, plenty of picnic areas for both large and small groups, a playground, covered shelters, outdoor restrooms, and it's very dog- and bicycle-friendly. One of the best parts is simply relaxing along the waterfront path and watching the steady stream of Washington State Ferries traveling back and forth across the Sound. During the summer months, the park even features an outdoor swimming pool. Our main reason for visiting was to see Bruun Idun created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, and it did not disappoint. While walking the Puget Sound trail to find the troll, we also spotted a bald eagle perched in its nest--very cool! After snapping photos, we were treated to a beautiful sunset over the water. With nature, art, and incredible views all in one place, Lincoln Park is absolutely worth a visit.

Lincoln Park is a huge, iconic waterfront park with lots of walking paths, grassy spaces and some…read morebeautiful views over the water. I planned to spend the day here on my most recent trip to the area, but I probably wouldn't do it again. The parking was a nightmare. I tried multiple times to find a parking spot in one of the available lots and it was impossible. I drove around blocks and blocks of residential areas and finally found a place that I could park for a few hours (according to the sign) and walk to the park. I know it sounds a little unnecessary to remark on how there were so many people in a hugely popular space, but I think my problem was that there were so many people in specific areas. I tried to walk down the concrete path from the lower parking area around the water and there must have been hundreds of teenagers hanging out. I would love to say that I'm exaggerating but at one point I started to count and I got to at least 80 before giving up. I think it's great that young people have a place to hang out; they were playing music and playing games and laughing and getting into the water... But it was so very loud. Maybe I came during some sort of event but it was the middle of the week early in the afternoon so I'm not sure what it could have been. Nevertheless, I saw a family packing up their picnic to move to another area because the teens were being so obnoxious. That wasn't the only place either. Many of the grassy areas were packed with people, some screaming or playing loud music. I found it very difficult to find a quiet space where I could just enjoy being in the park. The park itself is huge, so I continued on. I spent at least 2 hours in the park walking. The only things I really enjoyed were seeing the Dambo troll and probably most enjoyable was all of the bunnies! I must have seen dozens of bunnies as I was walking. I tried to stay as far away as possible because I had my dog with me but they were so sweet. They didn't see him at all bothered by all the people walking by them. The sunset was quite nice too but it was just starting as I was heading out. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm not from the area or if I happened here on a crazy busy day for some unknown reason but where I am from, people can enjoy parks while still being respectful to others around them and that did not seem to be a priority to the people visiting this park. I would definitely come here again to see if my experience was situational but I would maybe take public transit to avoid the parking headaches and I would absolutely try and get here during a time when school is in session.
