Tony Targonski: Juanita Bay Park is undergoing some park restoration and will get even better over time. This shot features wide open space of the park, along with some new trees planted on the side.

Walk Score Team: Former gas plant turned park, this beautiful area includes views of the Seattle skyline and Lake Union. The gas plant’s structures remain with an ominous presence; however, it is quite the structure to behold. #urbanbeach Photo: sunjaec

Matt L: The conservatory is wonderful rain or shine. But it now costs $4.

Tony Targonski: Marina Park offers a pretty spectacular view across Lake Washington. Just watch out for geese/duck poop on the ground.

Josh: Duck pond and look for turtles lounging on the rocks on warm sunny days. #pocketpark #kidfriendly

Kim Crayton: There are barred owls in the park during the day. Listen for the calls. They are usually in the center/south highland of the park by the cedars, hemlocks and Doug firs.

Josh: Nice view of downtown, the stadiums and Puget Sound.

Matt L: Idyllic soccer and baseball fields sheltered by trees.

Josh: Moon rising over Mercer Island. View of Mount Rainier to the South. Great place to begin a walk/jog/bike along Lake Washington. Uninterrupted path from here South to Seward Park.

Tony Targonski: Boardwalks are pedestrian traps, possibly working via the same mechanics that attract cats to sitting inside of cardboard boxes.

Tony Targonski: Spring Hills is labeled as a park on the maps, but it turns out to be someone's driveway. There is only a road leading up to some houses. Still, this is a green space.

Josh: Nice view of Rainier in the distance.

Matt L: There's a great trail to walk bike on that goes from Laurelhurst right to the Burke-Gilman near UW.

Liz Stenning: Bike polo in Occidental Park! #walkaudit

Josh: #pocketpark with view of Cascades and Mt Rainier on clear days. Nice spot for a picnic on warm nights.

Josh: #playground #ballfield #tennis court

Pan Pacific Seattle Concierge: Perfect destination for a crisp fall walk either solo or with a four-legged friend. #panpacificsea

Josh: Surprising mini oasis in the middle of Pioneer Square. Location is birthplace of UPS. #fountain, tables and chairs, #pocketpark

Walk Score User: We have spotted this River Otter walking the beach out front of 64th AVE SW, or the beggining of the Alki trail

David A.: The #playground here is huge!

Shari G: The Cascade P-Patch is located on the corner of Thomas and Minor. It is also part of the Cascade playground.

Leah Applewhite, Realtor: Located right across Bjune street from Town and Country market, this little playground is a lifesaver for busy parents and active kids. A great reward after good behavior while shopping :-).
