Seward Park

Seward Park has 300 acres of forest, occupying all of a peninsula in Lake Washington. This park boasts beautiful old growth forests, and the best paved, flat, walking trail that I have found in Seattle. Unfortunately, when I visited, I forgot my camera! But one look at the location will give you an idea of how beautiful this park is.

Seward park has 2.4 mile trail on the outside of the park—paved, flat, and perfect for kids on bikes, scooters, or just for a walk around.

Look for wildlife along the way. There are eagles, turtles, frogs, ducks, and even some feral parrots! The visitor's center near the parking lot can give you additional information of what to look for.

The park also features a playground, tennis courts, and picnic areas, as well as an amphitheater for large events.
