One thing we noticed was a couple of smaller dogs wanting to instigate, but the staff was very proactive on noticing the behaviors and acting on them.

Before a big day of Seattle exploring, my best friend and I decided to stop at Kerry Park for a…read morecity view. We were up pretty early and thankfully the spot wasn't too crowded. Even though it was a cloudier day, we still have a beautiful view of the city skyline. We found street parking nearby. It's located in a gorgeous neighborhood. They have a few benches and a sculpture in the middle. It's not that big of space, but a great quick photo opp.

One of the best views in the city!…read more This is more of a viewpoint rather than a park. There's a ledge with benches that everyone is taking pictures at and a small strip of grass below. You get a lovely view of the Seattle skyline and Washington Lake. Super gorg! Parking is free along residential streets and it's pretty close to Queen Anne for some exploring and popping around.

Upon every turn of the trail, you come across a bench. Each section of the park has a different geographic representation in the plants. Super cool! You can tell a lot of work goes into the maintenance of a park like this. The flowers today were popping! Spring is in full blown colors that are amazing. It is hard to believe that it was all real. Especially when you see two different colors right next to each other. See photo of the orange and yellow flowers. Parking lots are everywhere around the park. I noticed that people do not obey the speed limit here, like wow! Drive carefully and be safe. And, SYOY!

Hearing about this off leash dog park from a few of my neighbors it quickly landed on my list of…read morepotential places to take my pup. I'm sure glad I did. Magnuson off leash park is HUGE to put it simply. There are few gates to enter into, one of which is right near the "small" dog section of the dog park which is nice the other entrances lead to a huge field mixed with grass but is mostly dirt. At the entrance are some hoses to hydrate the dogs or hose them down quickly before entering of leaving. On really hot days I'll spray my pup quickly to cool him down. From there, there is another little area not as big as the main area, but there are some additional benches and is a bit more secluded than the main. The main area has a little info board, lost and found and a covering with a table and bench so you can set things down if need be. There is a path that's maybe 0.5 mile walk that leads to the main attraction here, a nice little cove of water where the pups can go jump in the water. It's great. My pup is a tri-pawd and doesn't really swim but does like the water. There is a nice long running mat that leads into the water. It lets him gradually get into the water and it is such a thoughtful addition there. I find the people at this area are generally nice and have had pleasant visits each time here. Best Off leash area I've visited thus far.

A pretty nice dog park! We sometimes bring our senior pup to socialize with other dogs. It's a…read morecombined space for dogs of any size, so there isn't a small dog area like some other parks I've seen. The grass is turf grass and there's poop bags and water for the dogs. For the most part, we haven't run into any issues bringing our senior pup here (he's a chihuahua beagle mix) and he does well meeting all the other dogs and people. Over summer - the dog park can get pretty smelly. I think it's from those hose/water run off but there have been some days where it smelled kind of gross so we left. Also, always watch your pup around the drinking bowl and run the water to make sure it's fresh and not stagnant or contaminated! Unfortunately, the last time we took our pup, he drank from the drinking bowl before we could get to him and a few days later he got extremely sick.

This set up reminds me of the one by Amazon, just a lot larger while still being only a mid to small sized dog park. Dog parks come in so many sizes. Every time I stop by there are many people with their dogs. My dog always has a good time playing. I like that this place isn't so large that my dog runs off in places I can't see. I can see my dog from anywhere in here with plenty of running room for all the pets and their owners. Nice job on this one. Probably the best dog park in the area based on size, offerings, and cleanliness. There isn't a bunch of dirt or gravel like many of the dog parks so your dog will stay relatively clean. Huge bonus in my opinion. I avoid many parks because my dog immediately gets so dirty.

As one of the most unique lakes in the state, Lake Union Piers sits entirely inside the city limits…read moreand has numerous public and private piers that support houseboats, marinas, floating homes, and recreational boating. The entire setup is sort of like a front row view of the city, where one can learn visually by walking to the various piers that surround Lake Union. On select days one might see kayakers paddling next to bougie yachts, historic houseboats tied up next to ultra-modern marinas, while people watching joggers and bikers ride around the lake. On the best weather days, the view Seattle skyline is beautiful, as is the Aurora bridge, and Gas Works Park. It's not the most touristy spot, but it is a way to experience the euphoria of Seattle living while absorbing all the nature with it. Early morning summer visits are some of the best times here: crowds are sparse, the water is still, the air is clean, and one can feel the city of Seattle in all of its sensory glory.

This is such a beautiful park!
