The gated play place
Willow M.

The park feels very forgotten about, the play place is completely gated off. The zip-line is also broken. Just very sad.

There is a great looking dog park and ample space to explore. But unfortunately I am going to have to give Westcrest park a two star rating because of two things, 1) there is a police maintenance facility IN THE PARK and the entire time I was there, I could hear power tools. 2) the paths around are completely dominated by some kind of invasive bush. The paths themselves didn't bring much interest and it is sad to see it becoming a mono-culture. Bonus - they should rename the park Madrone Park with all of the beautiful Madrone trees scattered in the forest.

Hope this jerk enjoys the 8 year old's backpack and reading glasses that he or she stole! Happened around 4PM on a sunny afternoon.

This park has a beautiful view with a nicely updated playground and ample space to run around and play with your child. With that being said, the amount of crime and car prowls has gotten out of control!!! I wish I had known how bad it was before I came here immediately after school with my child. We had nothing in the car worth taking, but they smashed my window anyway and stole her small children's backpack that only contained only her homework (and unfortunately her prescription glasses as well). The playground area is far from the lot and with the wind blowing and sound of kids playing, it would be difficult to hear your car being broken into -- we had no idea until we were approached by a family who had just gotten there and parked. Another man who saw our vehicle told me that he brings his dog there frequently and has seen/heard of cars that were broken into in all of the surrounding parking lots regularly. Sucks that it happened on a bright and sunny afternoon. We probably will not be back for a long while even though my child loved playing here.

Sun shower.

Westcrest Park was a lovely surprise the first time we found it. Being new to the area, we have explored the neighborhood, just hoping for little gems like this one. We don't have dogs, so we've only walked through the off-leash portion of the park a couple of times looking for new routes in to the woods. The hulking trees and foliage cover is a nice break from power walking the surrounding hills. It can get super muddy after the rain, and could use some maintenance along the path, but overall I look forward to our respite in the shade.

Construction...:-(

Ask the Community - Westcrest Park

Is the dog park fenced in so the dogs cannot get out?

The park is really big and there are two fenced off areas for off leash dogs. There is a small fenced area for shy and small dogs. The larger fenced off area is for all other dogs.

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.

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!

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!
