though I only have waded in the water, it is a great place on a hot summers day. there are also beautiful trails through heavily forested areas of the parks and a few open meadows high on the coastline with great views.

Don't miss it! REALLY! Truly incredible and in the middle of a metropolitan city.....quite a Mira Leo,
Good walking trails and scenic views. You can either walk or jog around. Lots of families. Good place to go for a stroll with your family or a girlfriend.
SAFETY NOTE: Some of the jogging trails in the interior are a bit sheltered. I don't know myself of them ever having any issues here, but you might not want to...

Huge place to explore and hike. Great vantage points out to the sound as well as a mini stair trek down to a mini lighthouse and a Washington shoreline. Very pretty.
We spent Sunday at Discovery Park, it was absolutely gorgeous. The park is well maintained with comfortable, well marked hiking trails. The path up from the North Short trail was in a little disrepair, there was a sign advising that parts had been washed out with heavy rains, but it was still passable.
This park is beautiful!! Large, lots of trails for hiking, biking and jogging. Great view of the mountain range from the meadow. Would love to go back and hike the rest of it. Granted I am from San Antonio, TX and we don't have gorgeous lush hilly green parks, so I'm easy to please. :)
The Space Needle is here. We waited for a clear day to go. Very nice view of Seattle and the surrounding area. The monorail stops in the middle of the park, close to the Space Needle. The rest of Discovery Park is rather underwelming, I expected more.
Great place to walk around, classic Puget Sound nature. Trails, water, trees. Discovery center and classic military residences too.
One of my favorite things we did visiting Seattle. Long Sunday walk/hike around this massive park. Walked the south beach trail to the lighthouse and returned on the north neath trail. Took several hours round trip. Great get away and seclusion in nature. Cost about $30 from downtown to take a taxi. Returned by bus for $2.75 each.
Go first to the Information Center and purchase a map for $1.00. It is well worth the investment. Although the paths have good signs, the map gives you the over-all view of the area. We walked around the loop with a detour to South Beach. The beach had a great view across Puget Sound of the Olympic Peninsula Mountains covered...
