Discovery Park - Beach and Cliffside Views
Details
This weekend it's raining out east, so let's do something a little different: Discovery Park in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle. This 500-acre park and local nature preserve offers views of the sound, local wildlife, and a picturesque walk along the beach, among other attractions. We'll start from the East Parking Lot, go counterclockwise around the perimeter of the park, and then do a smaller loop to explore center of the park, for around a 6 mile walk in total.
We'll be making friends, staying fit, being polite and having fun!
