The way they designed the playground makes it so a 3/4 year old can play with a 8 year old very well. Plenty of swings, and other small things for them to play on as well. This park has bathrooms, a gazebo with picnic tables for birthday parties or w/e and plenty of parking. You can also walk across street and there is a cliff view for pictures. This makes it a good spot for people visiting Washington. This is also the park a lot of people go to on the fourth of July to watch fireworks.

We encountered a group of (unfriendly) young women in hoop skirts, a photo shoot where a Dad was slowly twirling his daughter the bride while a photographer captured the moment (so sweet!), interesting sculptures, and volunteers tidying garden beds, who chatted with my Mom as though they had been friends forever. I've found that people have varied reactions when encountering a person with dementia; I'm always grateful when people spend a few minutes chatting with my Mom. Across the street is a great overlook park with picnic tables and benches that all had great views over the harbor.

It can get a bit…read morebusy at times and it may be difficult to find a place to sit if you are looking to sit at one of the picnic benches. It is in a residential neighborhood, so it can also get quiet busy with kids at times. We would wait for quiet times when I was growing up and my parents would bring me and my sister here and to the adjacent Rest Lawn to learn to ride our bicycles. I preferred the paved surface of the roads on the Rest Lawn, but I learned to get started and stop on grass (at this park) as that is harder than starting on smooth surfaces. In the long term that worked out because learning to ride my bike on paved surfaces was a lot easier once I got going on grass. We'd make an effort to come during the day when most people were eating or at off hours on the weekends. Now the field in Hickman Park is turf. Be mindful what time of day you visit as the park draws different crowds at different days/times. The playground is temporarily closed due to COVID-19, but the rest of the park is open.

The process for renting was simple snd straightforward with the city of edmonds. You can do it online. When we arrived it was clean and ready. There is a grill, covered shelter area electricity,bathrooms and plenty of picnic tables. Separated enough for privacy but close to play area to watch your kids. The price was fare and we had a great reunion. This would be a good choice for any outdoor family function of 40 or less. The only minus is Parking is a bit limited.

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.

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 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.

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.
