I was in the area and wanted to explore a little so I walked over to Beer Sheva Park. The southern…read morepart with the barbecue area and view of the water was a little messy. There were multiple groups of people playing loud music, and some others not looking ok. However, the bathroom was kept clean and I commend the maintenance team for that. If you keep going north, the more grassy, wider area of the park shows up. That part is maintained a little better than the other side. Overall, this is a park that gets the job done.

They're doing a lot of renovations currently so it's a little messy, but it'll be worth it in the long run. Due to the project a lot of things are closed, but there's still water access, playground, and picnic areas open.

The trail down on the right side (when facing the park) is much more steep and snakes around, while the trail on the left side is shorter with a slighter incline/decline. I'd recommend heading up or down from the left end unless you're an avid hiker. While both paths are paved, the space could really benefit from some beautification or sculptures, although it was very quiet and peaceful. There is an odd little pit on the left side with quite a bit of seating, but it's not clear if it was once used for bonfires or if it's meant as a sand pit for children. Either was it was a nice little hike with a gorgeous view.

There is even a sand pit with a volleyball net set up, and the playstructure is beautifully hidden in the small wooded area. There is also plenty of parking and the park is very clean.

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!

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.).

That's the moorage itself. Don't expect to pack a picnic with a view of the water. That doesn't mean Leschi Park is anything to sneeze at. It's sizable with a portion that is well manicured and good for a picnic. There are several benches in this area and some portions are shady. When we went, the rose hedges were blooming and quite pretty. There's also a sequoia that was dedicated to the head gardener from 65 years ago. There are a few tennis courts too. The parts that I like more are the trails that have a forest vibe. Leschi Park is adjacent to Frink Park; together, they form a very large area to explore. I didn't find much signs or maps so I just used Google maps to choose walking paths. Cell signal was solid inside both parks. On a hot day, these two tree filled parks provide lots of shade; they would be an excellent place to visit.

It's a nice park with waterfront views in the Leschi neighborhood. I've been here a few times,…read moreespecially on clear days, and the setting always makes for a memorable time. Leschi Park is small, and most who visit are here for the views, as it's off of Lake Washington, so you can see the eastside and I-90. There's a small covered seating area and a dock for boaters. It's cool that there are a few restaurants and businesses nearby, as well as a parking lot. It's walking distance to the residential area and the Madrona neighborhood. If you're looking to access the water, I would recommend the short walk up north along the trail to Madrona Beach Park, which is larger and is more popular. However, Leschi Park is here for when you want more of a private, quiet scene, just for the views. Not a bad spot at all.
