Family-Friendly Nature Walks in Seattle

February 9, 2022
-
Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

Something I love about living in Seattle, is that even living right downtown, it only takes a 10-30 minute drive to get to so many beautiful parks, beaches, and trails that truly make you feel like you’re out of the city. Whether you want to feel like you’re on a hike, you want something paved, you want to sit yourself right down in the sand, or you simply want an equipment playground for your kids to enjoy, there are limitless options. Here are some we’ve really appreciated so far!

Golden Gardens Park

I highly recommend Golden Gardens Park if you want some nice spacious sandy beach vibes. Plus, there is beach volleyball for an immense amount of entertainment. You can also wander through the trees, or hit up the equipment playground while there. Or, of course, swim!! On weekends you’ll often find people having fires on the sand (at designated fire pits), walking the pier, and catching a sunset!

Green Lake Park

Green Lake Park is the perfect spot for a 5km (3 mile) paved loop along the water. Plus, I’ve been told that while in Green Lake, you should definitely stop at Retreat and grab yourself a beverage! Green Lake Park also has tennis and pickle ball courts, and an equipment playground.

Washington Park Arboretum

The Arboretum is made up of 230 acres, so there is a significant amount to explore along Lake Washington, but you can also enjoy the Japanese Garden during visiting hours.

Carkeek Park

Carkeek Park gives you a view of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. You can explore the trails, or you can hit up the small portion of rocky beach, have a picnic at the designated picnic table area, watch for a train, and play at the partially nature-based playground.

Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park has a trail that makes you feel truly in nature, but it also has a paved walkway around the beach, many fields for playing all the sports, and an equipment playground. Apparently I need to check back here in the summer when they have a saltwater swimming pool available!

Discovery Park

I mention Discovery Park when I talk all things Seattle, and I also mention it when I talk Washington Hikes, because if you do Discovery Park to the Lighthouse, even though you’re technically in Seattle, it truly does feel like you’re out on a hike, away from the rest of the world! However, beyond that, Discovery Park is made up of 534 acres of natural area to explore, so you could do it again and again, continually exploring new trails.

Seward Park

If you’re looking for a paved-loop, Seward Park is a great location! This loop is 2.4 miles, with a perfect pitstop point where you can walk on rocks and dip your hands in the water. It’s a perfect water-view, and there’s a fun equipment playground to enjoy before or after your walk!

Happy not-quite-city exploring!

My Beginner Piano eCourse is fully out in the worl My Beginner Piano eCourse is fully out in the world!!

As of yesterday, the full course is released, and this wave of relief just washed over me!! The amount of time, energy, and resources that goes into these courses is more than I would have ever known, but I’m so happy, and grateful to have them available to people for a lifetime, and also to have a way to continue to offer music to many more people, in many more homes, for unlimited time!!

Tomorrow I’ll release a blog that will answer all the top questions I’ve been asked about my Preschool Music eCourse and my Beginner Piano eCourse, so you can see if they are a fit for you or anyone you know!!

But now, tell me a goal you’re dreaming up - work-related or not!!

I’m overdue for 5 Fun Facts, so let’s pair it I’m overdue for 5 Fun Facts, so let’s pair it with these five fun photos!

1. I didn’t like anything grapefruit before I had Collins, and now I’m always like, “Give me all the grapefruit sparkling water!”

2. I’ve always had multiple jobs from the time I was a teenager…I sum it up to me thinking that variety is the spice of life. 

3. I believe ketchup and mustard belong on breakfast egg sandwiches. 

4. If you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said “a mom!” I still think it’s the greatest gift in the whole entire world. 

5. Even though I said variety is the spice of life, I am wildly good with repetition for an incredible amount of time…the same food, the same song, the same walk…I don’t know if it’s patience or just insanity, but I don’t get sick of the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. 

Give me a fun fact about you!!
