    The view at the bottom
    Tony B.

    It's all downhill. And then once you get to the beach at the bottom, it's all uphill on the way back! The main trail is wide and paved, and you could probably bike down easily. Going up, you might need an electric assist, unless you're REALLY in shape, AND have a good gear ratio on a mountain type bike. The main trail is a beautiful walk. Feels like you are in the middle of the forest. As you walk, you will see some smaller side trails leading...? somewhere. Next time I will go explore some of these. So, it's great to be outside in the fresh air, and get some good exercise on the steep climb. So get get! Get Going! The forest isn't going to come to you! Cheers!

    I almost don't want to write this review so I can keep this park to myself! I'm new to the area and scoping out places go on nice days with my dog. Marine View Park is aptly named and beautiful, but don't expect the sweeping views of the sound and Mt. Rainier without some work. The walk down to the beach is about half a mile, and you can choose to take the cemented path or adventure down by trail. According to some signage, there's a loop trail you can take, but we stayed left on the main path since it was our first time there. We ran into a few groups of folks, most with dogs, which affirmed to me this place is dog friendly. There are two places with garbage cans - at the top of the trail and just before the stairs to the beach - so it's quite easy to pack in and out, and convenient when picking up after your pooch! When you get about halfway down, you start to see why it's called Marine View. The walk is very steep but definitely doable. A friendly fellow let me know there are several spots with eagles along the beach and to keep an eye on smaller dogs. So, it's not a great place to let smaller dogs off leash. We took a nice stroll and the sweaty hike back up to the car was well worth it. When the tide is out, signage showed that sea creatures are visible, and it's even possible to see whale here. So cool!

    We had time to kill before our flight so decided to hang for a bit at this park. We walked down to the beach and it was really beautiful. Sea otters were handing out In the water. It was just sunny and beautiful. We parked our selves on a log under a tree and enjoyed the peace and beauty. The walk back the path was a bit steep but well covered by the trees.

    I'm not super athletic and the trails were steep, but I made it all the way down and back up without any issues and with a few pauses to enjoy the scenery and rest. This was just a gorgeous walk. My hometown doesn't see much change in the fall and this was just perfect! This was only a short, cheap Uber ride from my hotel and it was well worth it! I loved the view of the Sound!

    It's a hike backup but worth it! We arrived to airport early for a flight, caught an Uber and were not disappointed.

    Does the park close at a certain time of day - is there a gate or something that shuts? Want to come in the evening.

    This was a beautiful place and I'm so glad I found this gem during my vacation here in Seattle. Not…read moreonly is this place free to enter, but it is seriously so magical in here. You can tell that the entire vicinity is well taken care of because the garden is blooming and so beautiful. I came here around 4pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy at all. It's a nice stroll that can take you 45-1 hr and you can just feel lost but it is not a big place so it's perfect. It's a little getaway that makes you feel like you are in a different state or place but you're still in Seattle.

This garden is 2.7miles from the SeaTac airport. A wonderful stop to make prior to your flight, upon arrival or when in the area. Pets are welcome. Free admission. There's pathways throughout the park to enjoy the multitude of pretty flowers, trees and plants. You will be able to see the signage which reflects what's available: -Elda's paradise garden -Seiki Japanese garden -Rose garden -Daylily garden -Fuchia garden -Iris garden -Community garden The Japanese garden is magical. It is clean and very well maintained. There are some benches available to sit, relax and enjoy. There's a mini library next to one of the benches where you can sit within nature to read by yourself or read to your kids. It's beautiful all around. Check it out. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! =)

    A fried told me about this place as I was gearing up to conquer Stairway to Heaven. When I got…read morehere, I found a small park with a short trail leading to the stairs. The stairs are well maintained, cross back and forth with a few landings to rest or let people pass. At the base of the stairs, it turns into its former self, old broken down cement/wood steps that reach the beach. There's a sign warning you, so it's quite obvious. There's also a bench in the middle of the staircase for those who get winded easily. I recall there's a little over 100 stairs. It's quite easy for beginners, children and pets. The park faces the west and has a peak-a-boo view of the sunset at one of the landings. When you're done, walk up the trail and look for a clear area and benches. If you are lucky, you may see the eagles soaring above the trees next to their nests. Parking: very few spots, like 4 or 5, so get prepared to park out in the residential area and walk a little.

    Come here if you want a GREAT stairs workout! Seriously... this whole park consists of stairs, and…read morelots of steps. Do a few laps and you'll get your workout for the day. The first 10 minutes or so of the hike is dirt trail. Then you get to the stairs, walk down and you'll find that there's not much at the bottom. Just a small beach covered in broken logs and plants that jut out towards the water. There is a small clearing beyond the stairs which offers somewhat of a view looking out at the sound. then when you look behind, towards the hill, you'll notice some idiot who posted a wooden sign that says "private property" seriously!? there's nothing private about it, not to mention there's nothing there. people can be so greedy sometimes... Anyways, this is a cool spot to come to if you want to do some laps up and down the stairs. Though it's not much of a date spot if you want to bring your significant other. Try some other parks in that case.
