There were a few people at the park and a variety of birds were singing. I spotted a bunny rabbit, Rufous-sided towhee, and robin while walking around. A paved path around the park helped alleviate any fears I had of tripping. The grass, playground, and gazebo were well maintained and cleanly. A small bridge connecting the playground area to the gazebo area went over a waterway. Fun place to go on a quiet day like today and do some wildlife watching.

I like to get pictures of the places I visit and unfortunately, there are NOT any charging stations or outlets here. Park is big. there is a play ground, swing set, walking track, large field, and a covered area with tables & benches. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean considering this is a public park. Parking lot is really small. Great place to hang with the kiddos or host a party. Kids will be good and tired at the end of the day.

I have come to Shoreview Park throughout my life for a variety of active purposes, be it as part of…read moremy soccer team, track and field practice, taking the dog for a walk/run on-leash, getting in running shape, and taking/doing biodiversity plots as part of my Environmental Science class at Shoreline Community College. There are a number of play fields, two set-up for baseball/softball and one we used for soccer games. The grassy unfenced baseball field serves as a good place for running drills and soccer warm-up. Prior to the addition of the playground by the soccer field there used to be a grassy area where we could stretch and do some warm-up exercises. There is a trail/path around the outside of the soccer field that I have paced and is approximately 0.2 miles (without cutting corners) so five laps makes a mile. I find this field to be a perfect place to get back into running shape. It is tucked away from the road, so it does not feel like one is running on display for the roadway. Trails to the North/Northeast take you to Boeing Creek Park, and trails to the East/Northeast take you to the Shoreline Community College Off-Leash Dog Park (also called the Shoreview Off-Leash Dog Park). Trails to the North/Northwest/West of the athletic fields take you past Hidden Lake. I came here recently, this past Saturday the 30th of May 2020, and today, the 1st of June 2020. On Saturday it was raining and I brought the dog, Schatzi the Münsterländer, along with me to walk a little ways on the trails, do some exploring, and run a few laps together. Schazti was soaking wet by the end and when I went to grab a towel from the trunk of the car she was so excited to get someplace dry she jumped right in. I got her to go to the back seat, and had the towels to wipe her down. None of the fields get particularly muddy, so it was mostly plant and grass that stuck to her fur and some dirt that I had to worry about when she got in the car. Today I came to run a few laps on my own and explore the park a little more as it has been a while since I had last done that. I arrived around 9:40 a.m. and left around 10:10 a.m. By the time I was leaving the parking lots were starting to fill up. Busy place on a clear day and a healthy reminder that summer is coming! A fun park with a variety of offerings that change with the seasons so there is always something to do or explore no matter the time of year.

I didn't know about Shoreview until I moved to Shoreline. It's definitely underappreciated, which…read moreis good for me to avoid crowds, etc. There's tennis and pickleball courts, a dog park, athletic fields, trails, and even a (gross) lake nearby. Shoreview is probably the same size as Magnuson, but shadier, so it provides much needed relief on sunnier and/or hotter days. Since it's so big, there's always parking available in multiple places throughout. If you want flat trails, there's those. If you want elevation, there's trails that go up higher, too.

There's no dedicated parking lot for this park but there is street parking in the neighborhood. The busiest part of this park is the skate park because there's not much else here.

There is parking on both 196th Street SW and the short Wilcox Park/Veterans Way Drive on the backside of the park. I enjoy the row of American flags flying high on the front side of the park. It is both patriotic and makes the park easy to identify from the road when driving past. Sanitation wasn't a problem when I visited and the park was well taken care of. There is also a restroom building with running water.

Froula, the first principal of Roosevelt High School from 1922 until his death in 1938. That makes sense because the high school is just a couple blocks south of this playground. It runs the length of the block and is a quiet and peaceful part of the neighborhood. There's a lot of street parking which gives easy access but other than that there's not much else here. There is a lot of a grassy area but for now that part is pretty much undeveloped.

My kid particularly liked that the "whisper tubes" still worked, as in a lot of places they have stopped working. Pretty easy to park around here too either on 12th or in one of the neighborhood streets south or west of the park. Hopefully over time the neighboring reservoir will end up lidded like Cal Anderson because there should be a huge park/playground given the cluster of neighborhoods around here (Roosevelt, Ravenna, Wallingford).
