Discovery Park
Picnic · Editor rating, not a user review
Seattle's wildest in-city park, if you are willing to walk.
Discovery Park covers the Magnolia bluff: forest, meadow, and a drop to the beach, with a visitor area and play space near the entrance.
The playground is the easy part. The rest of the park is a walk, often muddy, and the beach is a hike down and back up. Do not expect camping. On a clear day the west edge is the reason to go.
