Suggestions for Outdoors & Recreation near Seattle

AmateurConcierge • October 13, 2018Awesome dog run about 20 min outside of downtown. Nice trail, agility course and a bunch of open space

Dean A. • November 18, 201368 acres of trails in the heart of west Seattle

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.

HISTORY • April 12, 2010It's the largest garden of its kind in the US. Offering gorgeous views & a continually changing array of plants it includes several pavilions built using traditional Chinese materials & techniques.

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.

Egan F. • September 11, 2015Love this park as there's lots for kids to explore. Play fort, skate park, swings, climbing structures, etc. However, there's a fair amount of riff-raff too so pay attention.

Maxwell • November 18, 2014They have fun little weightlifting stuff in the park.

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!
