visit all of the parks in Seattle

I haven’t been working on this much, but I randomly stumbled on a park that I haven’t been to.

• Colman Playground

Maybe it’s time for another park visiting ride.

• Dr Jose Rizal Park
• Katie Black’s Garden
• Beacon Hill Playground

I’m going to have to start marking my park map so I can remember which ones I’ve checked off here…

My phone refuses to send pictures so no more photos.

A bunch of parks that I haven’t checked off yet that I found hiding in my flickr photos:

• Counterbalance Park
• Blanche S Lavizzo Park
• Spruce Mini Park
• Cottage Grove Park
• Greg Davis Park
• Longfellow Creek Greenspace
• Burke Gilman Trail
• Myrtle Edwards Park
• Thorndyke Park
• Discovery Park
• Commodore Park

I walked through Denny Park on the way to Bumbershoot on Labor Day.

Nikki and I finished climbing at Stone Gardens just before sunset, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to check out some prime sunset-viewing parks, then make a loop north of Ballard to see some more.

• NW 60th St Viewpoint
• Golden Gardens
• Sunset Hill Park
• Loyal Heights Community Center and Playground
• Salmon Bay Park
• Ballard Corners Park (aka 17th Ave NW and NW 63rd St)

Not much park visiting in August since I’ve spent about half of it out of town. But today I was running some errands north of the canal so I headed to Magnuson Park to pick blackberries, and visited 3 others on the way:

- Magnuson Park
- East Montlake Park
- West Montlake Park
- Burke Gilman Park

Hm, I really didn’t check off Cal Anderson Park yet? It’s probably the one I visit most often, including tonight on the way in to help Ivan upgrade memcached.

More in the north half of Seattle on a P-Patch tour and Seattle Night and Day . I saw a lot more parks on Night and Day but my phone was getting wet so I put it away.

• McCurdy Park
• Licton Springs Park
• Victory Heights
• Northacres Park
• Green Lake
• Ravenna Park
• University Playground
• Linden Orchard

I saw a lot of parks along Lake Washington Blvd on the way to Columbia City (the direct way, Rainier, isn’t very bike friendly). I didn’t even stop at all of them but I still got 7:

• Homer Harris Park
• Sam Smith Park
• East Portal Viewpoint
• Colman Park
• Genessee Park
• Rainier Playfield
• Columbia Park

Saw a few more. There were several tiny ones on Madison St that I know I must have passed, but I didn’t see any signs. I’ll have to look closer later.

• Interlaken Park
• Madison Park
• Washington Park Arboretum
• Japanese Garden
• Montlake Park
• B. F. Day
• Fremont Peak Park
• Ross Park
