Blyth Park

Find Bothell’s Blyth Park adjacent to the Sammamish River Trail — and a bit south of another riverside park, the Park at Bothell Landing. The two covered picnic shelters at Blyth Park are steps away from the playground.

The playground has two climbing structures with slides and a little suspension bridge. An interesting structure made out of old tires is also a fun place to climb. You can also venture onto the Sammamish River Trail where kids can bike, cross bridges and occasionally see boats passing by.

Location: 16950 W. Riverside Dr., Bothell

Warm up: Grab some delish tacos at Julio's, or swing by McMenamins Anderson School for lunch (and a swim!).

Next stop: Beaver Lake
