Climb, slide, swing and play
Pounce on a sun break or bring a towel to dry the slide: You know what to do. A new-to-you playground is free and sure to entertain — and hopefully tire out — your energetic crew.
- Head to Pier 58 on the Seattle Waterfront and explore its new playground, complete with a jellyfish climber and tube slide.
- Check out Shoreline’s first universal design playground and sensory garden.
- Brighten up playtime with a visit to Cheryl Chow Park. Kids will love the neon play structures, and parents can sneak in a workout on the exercise equipment.
- Buzz on over to Bellevue to explore the bee-themed structures of Hidden Valley Park’s playground.
- See if your neighborhood park was one of 10 Seattle-area playgrounds that got a major makeover last year.
- No matter the weather, you can head out to these rainy day parks and playgrounds for a playful romp.
- We’re still in the thick of the Big Dark season with the sun setting around 5:30 p.m., but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end at sunset. Check out these amazing lighted playgrounds that keep you playing all night (or at least until bedtime).
