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... More

This is our favorite place to take out-of-towners for an afternoon hike. Funny it's the exact same loop size as Green Lake, 2.8 miles. But better scenery!

We loved Discovery Park!!! We were staying nearby and would walk to the park and then to the ocean or around the loop. Every part is just gorgeous. Even though it is lovely to get right next to the water, the internal part is even more magical..actually rain forest like. I miss it already and wish is was right out... More
