This is a gem of a park. It has beachfront--a lot of it—and forest—a lot of that, too. Four-and-a-half miles of walking paths and nearly four miles of bike paths weave past groves of towering madrona, cedar and redwood trees. There’s a 50-meter heated salt water pool, playfields (three baseball fields, a football field), eight tennis courts, 10 horseshoe pits, numerous swings, slides and climbing structures.

Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy in the many covered areas, and a view to die for comes with them. Remember, you are in Seattle, so bring sunglasses, a windbreaker, and an umbrella, because once you get here, you’re not going to want to leave.
