10 Best Bike Paths for Seattle-Area Kids on Wheels

Bike paths totaling 3.9 miles are just the start when it comes to what West Seattle’s signature waterfront park, Lincoln Park, has to offer. A paved trail perfect for starter cyclists begins by the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal and runs along the beach, where riders can dismount to collect shells and build sandcastles, then continue toward the playground at the park’s north end with its tree-house-inspired elements. A makeover of the park’s south playground is in the works, too!

Post-cycling pit stop: During the summer months, cool off after your ride with a dip at the park’s outdoor saltwater pool featuring ocean views, a water slide and diving boards. Pick up lunch at popular neighborhood spot Tacquitos Feliz, or find numerous snack options a mile away from the park around the intersection of Fauntleroy Way Southwest and California Avenue Southwest.
