If you’re coming from Ballard, it’s also possible to cross the Ballard Locks and take the secret forested path through Kiwanis Memorial Preserve Park, which is accessed from 33rd Avenue W.
Thanks to the protected bike lanes on Gilman Avenue W, biking to Discovery Park is also a great option. We’ll congregate at the picnic table near the bus stop (Illinois Avenue & Texas Way), which is the end of the line, and hit the trail shortly after the Route 33 run scheduled to arrive at 11:35am shows up. Getting there: Metro’s Route 33 bus stops at the North parking lot. Take Texas Way for the less steep bike route to the North Parking Lot and find a post to lock to. The trail is well-kept, but it is not fully accessible for people with disabilities. The hike is about three miles with some rolling hills, but no major elevation change. The Loop Trail is a great way to take in the spectacular variety the park has to offer, from thick old growth forests to flowery meadows to the scenic Magnolia bluffs overlooking the Salish Sea. Discovery Park Walking TourĪt 534 acres, Discovery Park is the largest city park in Seattle.
On Tuesday August 30, we will be picnicking at Cowen Park starting at 5:30pm and doing a stroll through Ravenna Park at 7pm. RSVP for the Discovery Park walking tour. This Saturday (August 27) we’ll be meeting at Discovery Park at 11am and hiking the Loop Trail, starting the hike from the North parking lot around 11:35am. The Urbanist is excited to announce two more events in our summer series. The Discovery Park Loop Trail passes by a wide variety of plant life and trees.
