    Lakewood Park Disc Golf Course

    AKA Ralph Williamson Memorial Disc Golf Course (was renamed)…read more Excellent course, a lot of fun. Low down is, there are lots of elevation shots, wooded areas but no tunnel shots, nice signage, clear paths, benches, and beautiful scenery. Not beginner friendly. Yes, can be cart friendly, but there are some places where you will be pulling up a steep incline. Now for the deets... You will need UDisc to navigate this course or play with a local. The signage at each tee is nice, but does not tell you which pin position the basket's in. Many of the baskets are not visible from the tee, so you end up guessing where to drive. It would be nice if the signage showed the pin position. On most baskets, there are directional arrows pointing you to the next tee. And on some of the signage, it also show what direction to take for the next tee. That said, on many tees, you could spend some time looking for them. Use UDisc. I played in a drizzle and hardly anyone was in the park, so I can't comment on safety or how busy the park is. However, the baskets are DGA Mach 5 baskets, so 24 strands of lighter heavy duty links. These baskets have no colored band and so are grey. In a grey, overcast Seattle drizzle. Good thing it isn't very overcast here many days. [sarc] Therefore, it is difficult to see the basket. Pink, red streamers hanging from the basket would help immensely. On a few baskets, putting a fiberglass pole with a red triangle flag would be helpful as you cannot see the basket at all from the tee due to elevation, or a hill in the way. This is not for beginners, at least if they do not want to become frustrated. It seemed like most of the throws are long due to the elevations. For example, #9 is "only" 251' but you are driving up a 40'-50' hill. Many throws are like that. There are a couple, like #10, I think, that throws you off because even though there was only slight wind, there are clearings in through some trees where you have a head wind, and of course, sends your disc upward. This happened twice. This is a very clean park. There was no trash of any kind that I saw. A very pleasant outing in a picturesque park setting. There is a playground with minimal playground equipment. There is also a neat bike/tricycle track for little kids at the park. Brick restrooms are open in the spring and summer, port-a-potties otherwise. Benches behind most of the tees. I would give 5 stars if they would improve visibility of the baskets and indicate pin positions. There is supposed to be a pro shop on site, but I have no clue where that is. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    Sometimes you just need to touch grass. As a disc golfer, I like other courses but needed something…read morea little less technical than Sea-Tac. Insert Lakewood Park, or the Ralph Williamson Memorial Disc Golf Course. There is a pro shop on sight at the 1st and 6th tee pads. They also answer questions and hold lost and recovered discs as well. They have a selection of discs but inventory has been down over the summer on Innova. They did just get in some new bags. The pin position changes like any other golf course but generally are in the same spot. This is my preferred course as it is less challenging than pro SeaTac

    This is one of the best disc golf shops I've ever been to. HUGE disc selection. HUGE accessories…read moreselection. You disc golfers in the Bremerton, Seattle, Tacoma area are fortunate to have this. There are tons of disc inventory of even the new brands here. I bag Kastaplast and there was a great selection in every mold, even the new Krut first runs here. You will find the up and coming brands, too, and not just a few of them. He has a great selection of the OTB stamped discs. Great selection of bags, he even has the Grip Mcbeth commemorative, Eagle McMahon, and Lizotte's gorilla bag. Sling bags, beginner bags, small, medium, large bags. Hard to find bags like the Lat 64 Easy-Go Backpack. He likes anything disc golf. If someone tells him about it, he gets it. Don't want to spend the money for a baseball net to practice? He's got this Infinite Disc towel thing with a picture of a basket that you can hang from a tree to practice putting, driving, etc. How about a handy telescoping 1 meter measuring stick for accurate OB relief? Mini's and macros galore. Tons of stuff. You just need to check it out. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here.

    Have to check out this big park in Seattle that's got a whole lot for anyone. It of course has the…read moreZoo but there's a lot more. Woodland Park is more than 90 acres and takes up a few blocks in the Green Lake and Phinney Ridge neighborhoods. A lot of outdoor activities to do here. There's baseball fields, a dog park, and trails. Cool history about how it came to be. It's been around for a long time and the neighborhood pretty much grew up around it. This was originally the estate of lumber mill owner Guy C. Phinney. After he died it was bought by the city. In 1902 it was turned into one of the city's parks. Basically the park has two halves. The eastern half has baseball fields, a dog park, horseshoe pits, lawn bowling, a picnic area, a pitch and putt golf course, a skate park, and trails. The western half has the Zoo. In 1925 a memorial was erected for late President Warren G. Harding. Just a couple years earlier he made a speech here to the Boy Scouts. It was one of the last speeches he made before he died. The memorial was later demolished, and the site is where the African Savanna exhibit is today. Of course there's many animals to check out here. The rest of the park also has many birds as well as beavers and coyotes among other species. Getting here by a bus is a good idea. It's got a few that go up Fremont Avenue and the other streets. The most popular thing here is the Zoo but there's plenty of other things to do here like playing baseball, jogging, and whatever.

A great, corner park with huge playground to meet the needs of the whole family. The fields surrounding the playground offer space to throw a frisbee, kick a soccer ball, set up a badminton court, and still more.
