Seward Park Playground

Beautiful, on the water with Mt Rainier visible in the distance. Awesome fort/playhouse with climbing and slides, there's a merry go round and short Zipline for kids. Plenty of shade and grass, short walk to a bus station with a short ride to light rail. We're from out of town and was told this is probably Seattle's best park.

One of the great parks of Seattle but be warned it’s easy for the kids to get distracted and end up trying to play in the lake here. Can also easily go on kid friendly hikes.

Love this park. Great for walks with the family. My 4 and 8 yr old girls enjoy riding scooters or bikes on the trail, occassionally venturing down to the water line to throw rocks or tease the ducks. I enjoy the bird watching and the lush forest so close to the city.

A beautiful park with well-maintained trails. Our younger children really enjoyed it. Lots of ducks and seagulls, plenty of benches to sit and look at the lake, and a clean playground.

Great park on Lake Washington. Large playground area located at the beginning of the loop and open grassy areas to walk down to the water. Parking can be difficult at times.
