This past week was my first time going to music in the park and I was totally skeptical. "Seattle Women's Steel Pan Project" was performing at this park that I had never heard of and I wasn't anxious to make time to go. My wife dragged me along and I am SO glad she did! The band was actually incredible. Multiple generations, multiple cultural, and all women. Collectively the dozen or so musicians spoke 5 different languages! The music they made sounded like something you hear on the radio, not in person. The park was HUGE! There was a private parking lot, but also plenty of street parking all around. The lawn went on forever and was perfectly green and freshly mowed. Spread out throughout the lawn were hundreds of people laying out on picnic blankets, gathered to enjoy the music. Behind the stage was a big playground, two tennis courts, and an interactive game for kids that involves pressing lights as they lit up at the end of metal tubes. I am anxious to get to the park again on a day when the crowd isn't there so I can see what the park is really about.

Chelsea Park was my neighborhood park growing up. I've been there probably 100+ times…read more I've played organized and recreational sports there, participated in day camp there, and did about a dozen other things there during my childhood. It's a nice neighborhood park tucked away just off Ambaum and 136th. The park is basically divided into two sections, the playground area which is on top of a little hill and the field, which is down below. The playground area was renovated within the last 10-15 years and has a nice playground and walkway area up above. I don't know if it's due to the location, off Ambaum and 136th/near the (formerly called Seahurst Village Apartments) or what, but I don't see too many kids there playing. The field down below has a small baseball/softball field that is well-kept because it's used for little league baseball/softball and Kennedy Catholics softball team as well. The field isn't by enough for high schoolers (90 ft base paths and 60 ft mound), nor can it accommodate power hitters (due to houses relatively close down the right field line and a moderately short left field. Basically, If you're looking to play baseball you're better off going to Sunset Fields or Moshier Fields - you'll have more real estate there. The open field/grassy area is though good for pickup games of football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, etc. as well as catch and just general running. Often, at night - just before sunset ("after work") you may often find members of Burien's Hispanic community playing recreational soccer there - so if you're someone who had the itch to play, and doesn't play organized soccer or can't find people to play with, then it may be worth dropping by one night to see if people are playing. All-in-all, Chelsea Park is a fairly nice neighborhood park in the Burien-area that provides a variety of different opportunities for playtime and/or rec-athletics

There is an extensive senior program, a variety of classes for all ages, a gym and plenty of services. I love going to the toddler gym which starting in September runs Mon, Wed, and Fri and costs $2 for the first child and $1 for each additional child. There are several age appropriate play structures outside in their beautifully kept grounds. And to top it all off, a stunning botanical garden that is open to the public including wedding rentals and has a fantastic fund raising garden show and plant sale in August (this year featured Cisco Morris!) . This is just such a find and is worth the drive because it's just such a great community center.

I will say that the parking lot is rather small and it can be very challenging to find any parking during the summer. When I arrived on this particular day, there was literally a line out to the road with vehicles trying to find parking. It can get pretty cut throat, too. The park itself is generously sized, in the splash pad has a lot of unique features that my kids really enjoyed. My favorite part is that they had features for small children as well as larger children. Usually when I go to other splash pads it smells funky or like chlorine. But this location smelled fresh and seemed to have been upkept recently. Western Washington is a notorious area for high amounts of trafficking, so I always have to keep an eye out wherever we go. But thankfully, this area seemed pretty safe so we will definitely be back next summer for more playtime.
