North City Park

Meandering paved trails, trees enough to be a forest, just a completely nestled little gift you don't expect that fills the mind and lungs with refreshing. I adore this little park. There is a front area with paved trails, and a back area with sticks to play with and some small bike jumps. It goes from the street right up to I-5. Perfect for a short shot to the trees with your littles, or a morning talk with God. "Friendly" is the name of the feeling. Just a lovely place. It's not highly maintained, so there is some litter here and there, but it disappears - and I've never seen drug paraphernalia. That is normal to run into, closer to Seattle. But it is maintained - just enough to be clean and intentional, but it is left alone enough to feel like a homey place, not manicured. To me, it's perfect.

Small wooded Shoreline park project,.. Connected to North City Elementary. Let me add. With the Multitude of drugs and transients in Shoreline,.. haven't seen them Here in our "3" years !!!

A nice, dense stand of douglas firs in a quiet neighborhood. Volunteers work to keep out invasive plants.

You would never know this tiny Park was here, tucked away on a dead-end road it is a favorite spot for my dog and I to go. Well made paths leading to dirt paths in an open Forest area, this park is usually empty but always well-maintained. Despite the prime location for it I have never seen evidence of homeless camps or drug use here. Nice for a short walk into nature, tiny butt impactful I do recommend visiting if you're in the area.

North city park is a tiny spot that looks like you are entering a national forest trail. But that illusion is quickly disapated when you walk the 1/4 mile trail and end up where you started. There are no bathrooms, no picnik tables and no play ground. The undergrowth is so dense you are forced to stay on the paved pathway. My wife and I grew bored with it in less than 10 minutes. Additionally you are never out of earshot of the freeway.
