At times the grass has glass from broken bottles, so check around before running barefoot. There are some trails to explore, two metal tables for picnics and a small fenced in area (uphill and left) for dogs to go officially off leash. Hours are from dawn to dusk. Try sitting in the spinner chairs and seeing how fast you can get them going without making yourself sick.

I had not been here before so my goal was to come and find out if I could see the West Seattle Bridge from the park. Trying to find a line-of-sight from the south to the bridge and see how far south I can find such a point. So I started today at Terminal 105 Park. The park has a fence and a gate that is open during park open hours. A sign just inside the fence is visible from W Marginal Way SW, which helps with knowing when to turn. The turn in to the park is sharp, so I made sure to slow down enough to make the turn. There are two parking lots, one just inside the gate and a second one down a short paved drive. I chose to walk down the paved drive and parked in the first parking lot. At the end of the paved drive by the second parking lot are two grassy areas, a sheltered picnic area, benches on a platform extending over the water, and shoreline access to the Duwamish River. I explored all of these areas and found them to be well maintained. The park as a whole is an idyllic place to take in the beauty of the area in and around the Port of Seattle. The view of the West Seattle Bridge is unobstructed over the Duwamish River. It can be seen over the land portion of the park as well, though some other structures may get hinder a clear line-of-sight to the bridge. As I was making my way to the shoreline access area I saw a boat moving just past the trees, so I ran out to the muddy beach and it turned out to be a tugboat! I waited and watched, and yes took a video, and a second tugboat cruised past as well. Soon after as I explored the shoreline I noticed a large flock of birds resting on one of the muddy spits of land. One of the birds dove in the water and caught something, came over by me and sat on a line and ate its food. It turned out to be a Belted Kingfisher. First time I have seen a Belted Kingfisher in Seattle proper so that was pretty cool! The wildflowers here are very pretty and varied. I also found a few different types of berries. Bird tracks in the muddy sand led down to the water's edge. Careful where you step on the beach, the sand is muddy and very slick. On the trails through the vegetation above the brook and the beach I found numerous cobwebs and spiders. Also, be on the watch as to where to step. Signs note areas of importance for conserving native plant life.

It runs along the Green River Trail, and is easily accessible from a nearby parking lot near the trail. This seems like a great place for a variety of low cost, corporate events from one of the nearby buildings. They have plenty of space there for even hundreds of people if the occasion called for it. With access from the trail, you can even haul in quite a bit of equipment if you wanted to provide your own grill and play gear. This park has a path around the perimeter and along the trail, giving you options for walking around it if you're not wanting to get into the often wet grass. This location is not often overcome with birds, but you should expect the crows to be looking for snacks since they expect human activity. They have ample pavilion space, and from what I have seen it does not require any kind of reservation, so it should be first come first serve. I have rarely seen any kind of large groups out here, more is the shame since it is actually a pretty nice location to enjoy a sunny afternoon. Briscoe park is a definitely a little known destination for most. It is still a great respite for trail goers and park grill masters alike.
