Paramount School Park, Shoreline
A great outing choice for families of different ages and interests, Shoreline’s Paramount School Park caters to everyone. There’s a mostly flat, light-traffic path circling a large grassy area: This path is the perfect place for scootering tots and wobbly bikers to practice their skills. A cool skate park lets scooter and skateboard pros show off their rad moves.
Siblings not up to biking can have a blast at the large updated playground featuring an impressive climbing wall, tunnel slides and old-school merry-go-round. The open, partially fenced layout makes it easy for parents to keep an eye on playing kiddos while supervising a little one riding around the looping path. Bonus: There’s adult exercise equipment right next to the play structure for grown-ups to keep active.
Post-cycling pit stop: Kick back with a caffeine dose at Café Aroma while the kiddos play in the well-stocked playroom; or catch a budget movie at neighborhood favorite Crest Cinema Center.
