"We've only explored a tiny bit of this park"
And even though we've only seen a tiny bit, we love it!
My family and I live close to this park, but like so many things in life, we never came to visit until last summer. It's an amazing park- absolutely gigantic, and full of spaces to run, and see nature, or see historical landmarks, or gaze at Puget Sound, or whatever you want to do!
We're still on the stroller/baby carrier phase of life, but have found plenty of easy walks and paved roads, as well as huge grassy areas to sit or fly kites or picnic. And we're really looking forward to exploring more when our kids get older!
I seriously suggest checking out this website http://www.seattle.gov/Parks/Environment/discovparkindex.htm before you go- the park is huge, with multiple parking lots and areas to visit. If you have somewhere specific in mind, you'll need to have an idea of where it is.
One of our absolute favorite places to take our kids- you'll have a great time too!

"Discover Magnolia At Discovery Park"
Discovery Park, on Seattle's western edge has some of the best in-city views of the Puget Sound. But that's only one reason to visit the park. There's wooded trails, a playground, a Native American center, a kite-flying area and a beach to explore. It's the largest city park in Seattle. This is our favorite location for a long Christmas Day walk since, on a clear winter day, the view of the Sound and the Olympics is second to none. Stop by the Visitor Center on your way in to learn about the flora and fauna in the park and pick up a trail map. The park is in the Magnolia neighborhood which has a neat little downtown area and is home to one of Seattle's few open-air public swimming pools, Mounger Pool. With a warm, toddler-friendly wading pool and a killer 50-foot corkscrew slide, a visit to Mounger is the perfect way to end a busy day in this area of the city.
