So many hills & hidden valleys
Tracy M.

This wonderful park has something for everyone. Large children's play areas, plenty of trails through the forest for walkers, runners, hikers & bikers. Even though our visit was in wet & rainy January, our hike in the park was still lovely.

The smaller of the play areas by the two baseball fields.

I am really enjoying this park with my six-year-old. Not the biggest outdoor play equipment, but the actual woods and hiking trails make up for that themselves. Very nice and quiet.

I really like Hamlin Park. This evening I went for a nice walk along the wooded trails. The trails are well maintained, clean and have a peaceful feel to them. It's a great to take your dog for a walk as I see plenty of people walking theirs. The park also has nice big open grassy fields to play soccer, football, frisbee or to let your kids run around. There are baseball and softball fields, picnic areas, public restrooms and a playground for all the little ones. I have been here a few other times to throw the football around until my arm was dead. That pain lasted a while. Haha. This park has a lot to offer and everyone can enjoy it.

Cute, small park that's good for a BBQ, hitting a baseball or taking your dog for a walk. There are several short paths through the woods you can take. Probably 15 minute walk. It's a nice, easy walk. Good place to bring a dog or young child just for a little easy exercise. My husband and I were just looking for a low key walk in the nice weather. We spent about 30 minutes here trying to take different paths to extend our walk a bit. The bathrooms were amazingly clean! They were actually cleaner than some restaurant bathrooms that I've been too.

Well established forested trails, play field, picnic shelters and few people. Its practically paradise! Cyclists can try the trails but its a fairly short ride and may not be worth the time. Go. Picnic. Bird watch.

Complex kids playground
Kellen C.

Two kids playgrounds this is the simple one there is a hi tech one as well, They have a place for multiple Softball games to go on. Plenty of Hiking you can lost if you go off trail but that is the fun of Hiking sometimes

See all

Lower Queen Anne

Free activity in Seattle, Washington…read more.. When I was at the Post Office, mailing some postcards, the friendly clerk suggested that I go to Kerry Park to view in person, the city skyline as depicted in these postcards... OK! My niece was surprised at the size of "the park". It seems to be more like a strip of lawn instead of a park. Well... we were there for the beautiful view of Seattle and were happy to get a free parking space on the street! There also was an interesting steel sculpture called: Changing Form. It's 15 feet tall and can be used as a nice frame to photograph the Space Needle and its surroundings!

On clear days you can get an amazing view of Elliott Bay and the Central City (with the Space…read moreNeedle of course!), with a backdrop of Mount Rainier. The viewpoint is thoughtfully designed so many people can line up against the railings without too much trouble instead of photographers trying to jockey for space. If you didn't bring binoculars, there's a few coin operated telescopes to help you look at things in the distance. There's also a cool statue here if you're interested, and if you go down the steps there's a small playground. I'm not sure if I've ever seen anyone use the playground though, since there are no bathrooms associated with the park and small kids can have bathroom emergencies. There are businesses nearby where I guess you could technically ask to use the washrooms, but it's just another hassle. Note: street parking only.

Magnolia

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!

Seattle's Discovery Park is the bee's knees! I was completely blown away by this picturesque public…read morespace. 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.

Capitol Hill

Smackdab right in the middle of Seattle, this park is a treasure! In addition to the wide open…read morespaces, trees, and fountains, the Volunteer Park Conservatory and the Seattle Asian Art Museum are also located here. If you want to see a good view of Seattle, check out the Volunteer Park Water Tower's observation deck in the southeast corner of Volunteer Park right on top of Capitol Hill. There's no elevator so be prepared to climb the 107 stairs to the top and be rewarded with 360-degree view of Seattle! There are bars and fencing at the windows though, which does detract a little from the experience. Between the windows are informational signs about Seattle's history. I'll be back to check out the art museum and the conservatory in the future!

Definitely worth a visit. Volunteer Park is a beautiful historic park located in the heart of…read moreSeattle, designed by the Olmsted Brothers and a it's a must see as one of Seattle's well known landmarks. We skipped the inside of conservatory and Asian Art Museum but enjoyed strolling the grounds and admiring the views and taking in the fresh are. The sculpture, Black Sun by Isamu Noguchi, is here too and perfectly frames the Space Needle when you look through it. The highlight was climbing the water tower. The hike up was tiring, we were so out of breath and had to take some breaks, but the views were stunning. Definitely worth it and the walk down was so much easier! The park is peaceful and well-maintained, with plenty of spots to relax. Parking is free but fills up fast. A must-visit for locals and tourists alike!
