    The biggest slide at a park. Hands down.
    Cynthia L.

    I heard that there's a kids' playground here, with the usual big toys and stuff. Frankly, I never even noticed the playground because of the GIANT SLIDE. You may have heard of the giant slide before, but no one ever seems to know exactly where it is. It's like trying to find the Fremont Troll yourself if you're not from around Seattle. If you want a fun 15-minute divergence from being an adult, this is the place to do it. The slide itself is not very smooth, so my super-secret tip is going to come in handy for the newbies: Wear fleece. I don't have fleece pants, so I just take my Columbian sweater and tie it around my waist. Got it? So let's go over the list of things you need: 1. Friends 2. *Alcohol consumption prior (this is optional) 3. Fleece 4. Lack of fear of shooting off the end of the slide like a rocket and ending up on your butt, driven a foot-deep into the wet wood chips at the bottom. The slide is narrow, so if you've got some junk in the trunk, then you may want to want to hit the gym a little harder before attempting. Repeat running up then sliding down until you're properly winded and your cares for the moment, seemed to have slid away. Come on; that was punny.

    Kerry Park is amazing on a sunny day. If you are feeling ambitious and want a good workout I…read morerecommend walking up from Lower Queen Anne. The last time I did this my Apple Watch said I had climbed what is equivalent to 22 flights of stairs. The final stretch is steep and your legs will definitely know that you earned the view. The beautiful flowers and trees also make the walk worth it during the spring and summer months. There is a nice resting area at the top. I am also happy to now see snack vendors setting up here because a cold drink really helps before walking back down. As someone who lives in the area I would not drive up. Street parking is limited and always seems to be full. The hunt for parking might become its own workout. I am not sure if it is officially part of the park but there is also a playground for kids a few sets of steps downhill. Do not forget to walk over to Parsons Gardens to see the flowers during the summer. You should also stop at Marshall Park for views of Elliott Bay and the cruise ships on a clear day. The walk along the West Queen Anne retaining walls also offers beautiful scenic views. Kerry Park is a must visit in Seattle. It is also a great local walk to enjoy with your dog friends.

    One of the most scenic - if not the scenic - spot in a wilderness of scenic spots…read more It's a fantastic view of downtown and the Sound with Mount Rainier in the background. Extra points if you visit around sunset. It's small and parking is limited. Be prepared to park and walk - especially if you visit during peak times.

    Please note that Discovery Park Visitor Center is closed until Summer 2027 so I feel like this…read morereview is somewhat incomplete. However, this park is so amazing I think I can rate it 5/5 stars without needing to visit the visitor center! Discovery Park is Seattle's largest park and has amazing views of the Cascade and the Olympic Mountain ranges. You can head down to the tidal beaches to look at sea critters if you time it during a very low tide, or visit any time to hike and admire the forest, cross the open meadows, and listen to the streams crisscrossing the park. There's even a lighthouse! During summer season, there's a free shuttle bus Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to help you get around the park, as it's so large some people might be put off by the distances needed to walk around the various points of interest.

    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!
