Suggestions for Outdoors & Recreation near Seattle

Kaitlin • April 10, 2017A huge park! Lots of wooded trails and maybe the biggest off-leash dog park I've ever seen.

Tonya C. • August 5, 2011Climb in the climbing rock and sample delicious berries.

Jason E. • July 1, 2013Love the new spray park. We went on opening weekend so it was kind of a madhouse. But our 2.5 year old had a great time. Shade is in short supply, so consider a pop-up shelter or umbrella.

Richard S. • April 22, 2013Wonderful place to see authentic Chinese-style garden and architecture. Free admission, not crowded. Built with help from the Municipality of ChongQing.

Brian R. • July 30, 2011A great park with the most impressive play fort I have ever seen in a park. Trails, picnicking, BBQ grills and it's across the street from Westwood village in case you forgot anything. My boys love it

Wendy H. • November 8, 2011The trail around the pond is exactly one quarter mile. There are benches, picnic tables, trash/recycle receptacles and doggy bags. A nice view of the city, too.

Christine D. • April 18, 2013Nice playground for kids 4 to 10 and workout equipment and a steep staircase for grownups.

Chessa H. • August 23, 2011Nice wading pool that has a good mix of shade (for parents) and sun for kids (who are wet and want to dry off/warm up). Older but nice playground adjacent.

Tonya W. • December 18, 2011Try the swings, it's fun!

Lacey • April 17, 2017Adorable little park tucked away in west seattle. Follow the trail running behind it to longfellow creek and a cool bridge (salmon bone bridge)

Andy W. • February 20, 2012A new neighborhood park owned by the Seattle School District. There's a children's playground, tennis courts, a softball field and a large grass field. A great addition to the Westwood community!

Lucie P. • December 23, 2011Great place for a Hanukkah celebration.

Christine D. • March 3, 2013Great neighborhood park. Playground, Mt. Commons, P-Patch, basketball court, amphitheatre and a wonderful bee garden.

Andy W. • January 11, 2012The Horticulture students are redesigning the rose garden this school year. Should be done by summer 2012!

Alex R. • June 1, 2010Longfellow Creek is a three mile waterway running south to north through the Delridge Valley in West Seattle and emptying into the Duwamish River at the head of Elliott Bay.

Wendy H. • November 8, 2011Great views of the city! Right above Pond Park.
