I mainly visit this park for the off leash dog area, which is fantastic. It is kept well maintained (by the city and via volunteer cleanups). There is ample space to take your dogs for walks and the connecting greenspace trails are probably my dogs favorite. I probably visit 2-3 times a week. There is a playground up on top of the hill, which I don't use since I don't have kids, but it seems pretty decent. There's also some paved walking trails around and what is probably one of the best views of the city. Just don't try to get a glimpse of the Aurora from up there, there's way too much light pollution from the city.

Best park in town, hands down! Has a huge dog park (large and small dog sections), a large trail system, a community garden, play toys for kids, and a sprawling view of downtown! My favorite place to take the dogs or even a date 😊

Westcrest Park is a stunning scenic park that has a community garden adjacent to a dog park for both small and large canines, providing scenic views of Seattle, tree lines, and little hills. It's a fantastic place to visit. I highly recommend Westcrest Park to anyone who is searching for a place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The park is well-maintained, and there are numerous activities to do, including picnicking, playing on the playground, walking your dog, or simply taking in the views. Here are some specific things that I enjoyed about the park: 1. The views of Seattle are breathtaking. On a clear day, you can see the skyline, the Space Needle, and even Mount Rainier. 2. The park is extremely dog-friendly. There is a large dog park where your dog can run and play off-leash, as well as a smaller dog park for smaller dogs. 3. The community garden offers an excellent opportunity to learn about sustainable gardening. During the growing season, you can volunteer to help maintain the garden. 4. The park is well-maintained and has plenty of amenities, such as picnic tables, benches, and restrooms. Overall, I had a fantastic time at Westcrest Park, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

This park is a beautiful spot that supports small dogs, big dogs, all dogs and wilderness hiking in a suburb. It is a massive well kept plot of land that has a play place for your kids and a community garden thats very well kept. 9/10

Big park with an open view as well as some deep woods. There is a playground for kids and an area for dogs, but also plenty of paths and trails for hikers and joggers. The northwest part has no shade but it is beautiful when the sun comes out;the rest of the big park is in the woods, shaded and calm.
