A multi level park with a tennis court, playground, and a picnic area with BBQs for use in nice weather. A solid concrete trail wide enough for cyclist and walkers. Dogs are allowed in the park as I saw some people training their corgie on the field below the tennis court. Views from the top were beautiful even on this rainy day. The basketball courts were below the tennis courts. No bathrooms to see which was odd as most parks on Mercer Island have them. There was a port a potty if you have to usei it. I did and it wasn't too bad. But a reason for only 4 stars. Parking above and below at the multi leveled park. Looking forward to coming here in sunnier weather to have a picnic and or bbq or even ride a bike here. Happy Park discoveries and of course, Yelping! read more

Aubrey Davis Park is at the north-west corner of Mercer Island. The park is impeccably manicured and maintained. The park has tennis courts, basketball court, soccer field, children's play area, and some big wide open spaces too. There's a spot with a peekaboo distant view of Seattle; the hedges seem to be trimmed just for this purpose. This park is also the surface thoroughfare for bicyclists. For the on-foot walkers (us), we can walk onto I-90 from here. After living 30 years here, we finally walked on I-90. I highly recommend everyone to do it at least once. Pick a nice day and be cognizant of bikers vs. walkers. There is plenty of parking. This is a residential park so need to be respectful of locals. read more

A very nice, spacious park located on Mercer Island. This park is not too far from the I-90 Floating Bridge and if you get yourself oriented towards the interstate you will see a parking lot in the park where you can park. If you get out of the car and head towards the interstate you will connect up to a paved walking or bike trail and that trail will take you across the bridge. We didn't walk across it on the occasion we were there but have every intention of returning and doing the walk across the bridge. On a nice summery day would be perfect. You get some good views from this park obviously of the bridge but of Seattle and Lake Washington as well. This is a large park and it offers all the amenities that parks of it kind has and then some. read more

Good place to spend time with kids and family. Formerly known as "Park on the Lid," is an expansive park built on top of I-90 to protect the neighborhood from freeway disturbances. It is also home to two playgrounds, an "East" and a "West" playground.  The "East" playground is located next to Feroglia baseball fields and a picnic shelter. The "West" playground is located next to basketball courts and a large grassy lawn and is a big larger with a Safari theme. Both feature new, interactive equipment and are just a 5-10 minute walk from each other by a well-maintained paved walking path that extends through the park. Blackberry can be occasionally found along the edge of the park. Free parking and easy access. read more

Most people probably won't know about unless you're a local resident in this neighborhood, which is great if you are looking for a park that doesn't get overcrowded. I only knew about this park because we were scouting for new places with a view to take photos. I'm reading all these reviews and I guess it's bigger than I thought with a field big enough for sports, I did not see that part, I was only at the part where boats would come in to dock as most of it was under construction. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Aubrey Davis is the climax of the whole island I think, has the best view of Lake Washington and the back trail leads to I-90 floating bridge bicycle lane. Parking is free but could be filled up quick within hours. First come first serve type grills behind the cylinders, and a tennis court next to them. I was thankful that I found there's an amazing football field down the hill, never seen a real sized area that can't be more greener. read more

If you're not a Mercer Island resident or a tennis player constantly looking for open courts, you're not going to know about this one. Hidden at the top of West Mercer Island, the view of Seattle, the 90 bridge, and Lake Washington is spectacular. Although a little windy at times, which could ruin your game, it's a nice park for all grass sports. There's a giant soccer field below, a dog park above, and picnic tables by the dog park. It's a decent size for taking a breezy walk and very good for practicing sprints. If you are an early bird, arrive by 7 AM and you'll easily get courts. 8 is pushing it, but if not, late afternoon playing may as well get you a spot. read more

It's a little hard to find if you're trying to use Google maps alone and enter in Lid Park, but once you get here, you may be slightly amazed by its hugeness. The directions liked to waffle between taking exit 7a or exit 6 while you were driving. Maybe Google maps got into a fight with its satellite that day. Yesterday, the Lid hosted Volleyball for a Cause: a grass VB tournament supporting Habitat for Humanity. With almost 140 VB players in attendance, and nearly 20 VB nets set up, it looked like a grass version of Seaside (beach VB.) Who knew that there was so much level grass area to set up so many nets? Inside the gate, the grass area we were on is used for soccer, and there were also two baseball diamonds and a restroom. This is a fabulous spot if you're looking to have a large family reunion or event (they had power sources for your audio equipment.) The view is fantastic too; there were cement paths for people to walk on leaving the actual grassy park, but I'm not sure where they led to. I'll have to come back and find out :) read more

A great spot where cyclists meet up and ride loops around Mercer Island. Well, I haven't personally done it yet! However, Seattle Greenlake Triathlon Group just had its annually meeting here. It's in the form of picnic. Some of the triathletes rode the loops around the island before hand. A couple of the triathletes ran from Gasworks Park over. And, some of us just drove there and enjoyed a sunny day for a nice picnic. We brought our own stove for BBQ. And, we brought the tables and other necessaries. There's very limited parking. I would suggest come earlier if you are planning to ride the loop. A small group of approximately 50 people. This place is just great! You can also bring your dogs here! I don't think it's offleash park. read more

Nice park. We came here when Luther was packed with a festival the of event. Later is still my favorite because I am a dog beach nut but this place is still happy and peaceful. Parking is acceptable. Large grassy area to play. read more

After a 3 mile walk across Lake Washington via the Mountain to Sound Trail, I ended up at Park on the Lid. Expansive grass area and plenty of benches with amazing views of the Seattle skyline. Parking is free as well and I noticed everyone parking there was getting on their bikes to ride the trail so it was a hub for this activity. read more

The grass is nice and plush unlike many other parks I've been to. The softball/baseball field is relatively small for adults, but nice for playing co-ed or having kids play. There is a bathroom nearby which is a plus, but parking may be an issue on busy days. read more
