The locale feels a poignant touch of history. All the friends and memories we pickleball players have made. All thanks to three dads one fateful summer afternoon. + There's a couple restrooms here and water fountain, but the restrooms are about a 3min walk away. + Plenty of parking. + Various friendly people to meet and play pickup with. I met both beginners and high-level players.

Outside of the dog area you can go up to the historic farm and take a walk in the meadows. Further down it gets really muddy and completely impassable, but most of it is perfectly fine. Great place to come get some fresh air!

It's a good dog park. People seem to keep it clean enough and in decent shape. What I love about it…read moremost is that there is the small area which not too many dogs come into so my little guy can really just roam around and watch the big dogs in the other area. It's super fun to watch the big dogs run and play real hard as they do, but I'm always looking for the puppies and young dogs to come play with my very old toy poodle here. I've encountered some very nice people and I always appreciate meeting people who love and take good care of their furry ones. It's amazing how many people actually have rescue dogs, like I do, from Humane Society and other rescue centers. I'm a complete believer in the idea those of us who can, actually make the effort two help those dogs that have been thrown away. It's pretty clear that these dog park going families care about their dogs because they're here taking time in the dog park rather than just putting their dog out in their backyard or walking them in their own neighborhoods. It takes time to drive to a dog park, especially this one for me, but it's worth it. Oh, and attach to the park is a walking trail.

I'm going to read a review now, but I fully expect to update my review once the weather gets a…read morelittle bit nicer. So far, the other patrons of this dog park have been fantastic. Everyone we have encountered has been very friendly and respectful of each other's pets. The reason I'm giving this dog park three out of five stars (but truly hope to update this to a higher score once spring has sprung) is that it is not very well-kept. The benches are very crooked and extremely dirty, and there is a number of very large puddles in the walkway near the entrance. Yes, I realize this is Washington state... But it's quite simple to redirect the flow of water in a place like this, that is so intentionally landscaped. I certainly don't have a problem with my dogs getting dirty or even muddy, but the amount of water that gathers is a little bit ridiculous. I'm hoping that as spring hits the Kitsap parks department will do a little bit more for maintenance and his dog park... Will definitely keep coming because we love the other people that go, and their dogs.

Raab Park's entryway is a crash/accident-causing bottleneck with one narrow passage way for cars,…read moredogwalkers, skateboarders and utility vehicles like trash trucks and maintenance heavy trucks. The paved road is a tiny ribbon with edges that teeter off into the dirt - not gently sloped. City of Poulsbo Parks and Recreation department has liability here - waiting for the lawsuit shoe to drop. Once inside however, you can enjoy several nature interaction features, even nature solitude, while the children's playground has been revamped as of 2025. The park manages to fit in many things such as the following -- * A designed, interactive, children's educational garden managed by trained "Master Gardeners." Here, tons of produce are grown and donated for charitable food distribution. Imaginative and whimsical garden sculpture will draw surprise delights, and thoughtful plantings offer live lessons of ecology. * A "community garden" with multiple raised growing beds, where citizens rent a "patch" to grow their own fresh vegetables (and it has a compost pile in the back if you want to drop off your kitchen scraps). Rent includes gardening tools, watering hoses, and a generally well-run operation. * A skatepark, basketball courts, picnic shelter with multiple picnic tables for the community to hold events * A fun quirky children's playground with fun swings and slides * A view through the trees and downhill, of Poulsbo's downtown and harbor, flanked on the far horizon by the Olympic mountain range, an excellent place to watch a summer sunset. Sadly the park benches face in the opposite direction from this jaw-dropping view--back towards a worn walkway and old picnic table. The imagination of bureaucracies and their workmen of how people might behold nature and appreciate its grandeur is seriously impaired (such a view of the Olympic Mountain Range and they set up seats facing the opposite direction?!) * A few single-track foot trails into the woods around the perimeter of the flat, artificially planted lawn lead into wooded hillsides and offer shady nooks, rich with bird calls, to escape from the open hilltop monoculture of grass * The central flat expanse of monocultural grass is a horrendous ecological desert, a big zero--but fits the American settler desire aesthetic of claiming land into the wide horizon. (Beware the many entitled dog owners who run their pets without leashes on this wide open space, yet another City liability -- waiting to become a law suit.) This park is used by many people and is wonderful for people watching, while still having space for your own private experience of communing with nature.

A Seattle Gem with Breathtaking Views!…read more Discovery Park is hands down one of the most beautiful spots in Seattle. My husband grew up in Magnolia, so he took me here for a hike last weekend, and I was completely blown away. ​We explored the south side and walked the Loop Trail. The path is well-maintained and offers stunning panoramic views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. It's hard to believe you're still within the city limits! It's the largest park in the city, so there is plenty of space to enjoy nature. Whether you want a serious hike or just a peaceful stroll to see the water, this is the place to go. Don't forget your camera--the scenery is post-card perfect!

From an urban park perspective, the only other experience that comes close for me is when I moved to the Old Town Manchester neighborhood in Richmond, Virginia, and had Belle Isle in my backyard, which offers access to hiking, large flat rocks for sunbathing, and whitewater rafting on Class II, III, and IV rapids on the James River right in the middle of downtown. Okay, back to Discovery Park. I spent an entire day exploring the park. I started by ordering a carryout lunch at Damoori Kitchen, which is now closed according to Yelp. I then walked to Discovery Park and hiked the 4.4-mile Discovery Park and Lighthouse Loop. A map for that trail can be accessed using a trail app. The loop trail took me through several ecosystems such as coastal meadows, tidal beaches, forest groves, sand dunes, and vast stretches of thickets with wild berries. Once I finished hiking the loop, I walked back to Damoori Kitchen and caught a rideshare back to downtown Seattle. Highlights from my Discovery Park adventure included eating lunch at the tidal beach, exploring sea cliffs, seeing jaw-dropping views of Mount Rainier, hiking past the West Point Lighthouse, and experiencing the sights, sounds, flora, and fauna of the park's majestic landscape.
