Parks & Nature
The most beautiful park in Seattle in my opinion.
534 acres of park on the shores of Puget Sound.
visit Daybreak Star cultural Center for a special treat.
can walk there from the locks. go across the foot bridge and let your phone guide you. A little tricky but should be able to figure it out if you have a smart phone on you.
it will be a hike for sure. You can easily drive as well
just drive across the Ballard Bridge and you're almost there.
Old army barracks still there. Has some of the most gorgeous views of the sound and mountains. miles of walking and jogging trails. Go just go!
