Editorial Review for Discovery Park – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Discovery Park is the crown jewel in the impressive array of Seattle's wild parks. This 534-acre park, which surrounds Fort Lawton military installation, has three main entrances and an extensive trail network, ranging from bluff-top strolls to sandy beach walks. A good introduction is the 2.8-mile loop from the visitor center. You'll pass through a forest of old-growth, broad-leaved trees and second-growth conifers, with overlooks featuring excellent views of Puget Sound below.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoSea lions, seals, even porpoises and orca whales are occasionally spotted off West Point, and at least one pair of nesting bald eagles calls the park home. But don't feed the animals: This park is a designated sanctuary.

It's becoming more and more popular. But if visitors keep their dogs on a leash and stay on existing trails, then the beauty of Discover Park will last for a very long time. You can visit my blog about Discover Park at discoverypark.typepad (dotcom) Thanks, Irwin
Pros: A complete escape right in the city.
Cons: The word is out.
