Discovery Park Hike: FREE EVENT!
Details
Hey hey! Our next event is going down at Discovery Park Beach, Saturday 7/29th.
We will be meeting at 12 pm at the east parking lot (as the visitor center is currently under construction/remodeling) and then heading to the beach!
The Discovery Park Loop Trail is a designated National Recreation Trail, 2.8 miles long with an elevation change of just 140 feet down to a sandy beach. It passes through both forest and open meadows, offers extensive views, good prospects for bird watchers, and can be hiked or jogged year-round.

Parking - Getting There/Where to Meet Us
From 15th Ave W, just south of the Ballard Bridge, head west on W Emerson Place. After you cross the railroad tracks, turn right onto Gilman Ave W. In a few blocks, Gilman changes names and becomes W Government Way. Just beyond 36th Ave W, enter Discovery Park and turn into the second driveway on the left (the first is a one-way exit.) This leads to the East Parking Lot near the Visitor Center.
For those traveling by bus, Metro Route 33 has a stop on W Government Way just east of the park. Bus schedules may be posted, and can be checked at metro.kingcounty.gov.
