Great place to run or walk or exercise that's right on Lake Washington! Super family friendly and just a breath of fresh air (construction is and will be going on for the next twoish years)!
We dare you to walk the 2.5 mile path loops around the waterfront and then go view the 100 of kinds of birds they have around the children's play area.
If you want to ride a bike, walk around, relax your mind or just get some fresh air :) you should go there. + If the sky is clear enough mt. Rainier might accompany you with the Puget Sound's view :)
Nice place to walk, if you keep going you will reach two others parks, good view of the port of Seattle, fresh air, silence and calm.
Peaceful park that's clean and safe. Great place to wander on a sunny day.
Fantastic view over the city & fresh air.
Really awesome park with great views of Seattle. Fun to explore the nooks and crannies, but a shame you can't (legally) climb on anything!
Located on the north shore of Lake Union, the park has excellent water views and a spectacular, unobstructed view of the city skyline. It is a popular spot for concerts.
This beach is an awesome place to take a walk and breath in the fresh air
The water is great!
Nice view, fresh air and calm for a walk.
Awesome place for a bike ride and a meditation session!
Great for a run
The trails are gorgeous. Awesome way to escape the city
With its lush green spaces, its breathtaking Japanese Garden and its abundance of rare trees, plants and flowers (more than 40,000 species), it is one of the brightest jewels in the Emerald City.
The Washington Park Arboretum is the place to be this week with the azaleas in full bloom on Azalea Way.
Beautiful park on Lake Union. Walk around and enjoy the water, grass, and even some ducks.
Although they can command high prices today, the first houseboats on Lake Union were little more than floating shacks built to house lumber workers. (From Aerial America) Read more.
If the geese are here, watch out for their absurdly huge poops on the ground. It's everywhere.
It's a fun beach to have a picnic at. Lifeguards. Diving board. Park.
Well-laid out with fruit trees, picnic benches & playgrounds, this is urban Eden that kids love. On summer weekends, the beach is full of families swimming & playing in the waters of Lake Washington.

Bring breakfast, a blanket, and someone to cuddle with and sit at the bench overlooking Lake Washington for one of the best viewpoints to watch a sunrise in the city.
Next to the cemetery of Bruce Lee this is a bit of a hidden gem
Amazing views and cool old benches here.
Great view, calm, silence, good for walking with your dog or meditate.
Sit on a bench. Watch the sunset.
Take a walk, enjoy the view. Talk to a hobo.
Lovely spot for a walk, with plenty of places to sit should you want to enjoy the views. And it's free
Fujito Kubota, a master gardener & landscaper, gave this park to Seattle in 1987. These splendid acres of lush greenery, feeding ponds & footbridges are painted bright red with gold accents.
Don't miss the top of the waterfall for the view. Also an often overlooked spot for picnics, reading a book, or playing in the grass. Visit during every season! I especially love late Fall and Winter.
Start from the unassuming entrance on 5th and work your way up the maze of switchbacks to a gorgeous view of Eastlake and Downtown
I was disappointed I couldn't buy crack here.
Sit along the concrete railing at the top of the sloping hillside for a fantastic view of downtown Seattle and surrounding areas.
Great 360 views of Seattle and Bellevue
107 steps to the top
It's a workout going up those stairs.
Beautiful downtown Seattle view... even in the winter! Nice walking path too.
Technically NOT Alki Point. Geographic Alki Point is at the Lighthouse, this is the Duwamish Head.
One the best places to view the Seattle skyline
Best view of downtown Seattle. A big of a walk so be prepared but, well worth the hike.
Stand on the bench closest to the city to get over the trees. This is the postcard shot of Seattle with the Needle in front of the city. For more of a fun shot frame the Space Needle in the sculpture.
Bring your camera.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
