This project will offer South Lynnwood with easily accessible and close-by leisure alternatives.
This is the only active park in the area that is within walking distance. With a variety of leisure activities, we’ve concentrated on satisfying the demands of various user groups. To guarantee that this project meets the requirements of the community, outreach was conducted. The renovation will turn the park into a gathering place for the community.

Horizon View was formerly a Nike missile installation that was deactivated in 1964 and turned into a park and reservoir. The park was originally known as “Choo-Choo Park” because of a neighboring train museum. The playground still features a toy train, even if the museum is no longer there.

There are many sports fields, two of which are set up for baseball/softball games and one of which is utilized for soccer games.

There used to be a grassy space near the soccer field where we players could stretch and perform some warm-up exercises before the playground was built.
The trail/path around the edge of the soccer field that is about 0.2 miles long (without cutting corners), so five circuits equals a mile. This field is ideal for getting back into running. It’s nestled away from the road, so it doesn’t seem like you’re putting yourself out there for the world to see. Hidden Lake is reached through trails to the north, northwest, and west of the sports fields.

Allen Yost and his family founded the Edmonds Spring Water Company in 1902 to provide water to the fledgling municipality. They built a dam over Shell Creek and piped the water into town for drinking. The Shell Creek and Weir trails include remnants of these dams and settling tanks.

(206) 801-2600
Hours: Mon-Sun 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM
This public park in Shoreline has several nice paths that wind through low woodland and surround two small lakes. Hikers may choose the Trail of the Cedars approach from the west side. The path outlined here starts at that trailhead but travels across the park, including to the eastern trailheads, so you may simply change your route if you wish.
There are relatively few trail signage in the park, and the park website does not include an online trail map as of January 2018. You may opt to explore on your own, like you would in any city park. Follow the path detailed below if you want a more organized trek.
As you go east on the broad route, you’ll pass through a low-lying woodland. There will be a few little cedars, but there are many other trees and bushes as well. Branches hang over the path, creating the illusion of a tunnel, especially when everything is leafed out.

#9 Shoreview Park
998 NW Innis Arden Way Shoreline WA 98177
(206) 801-2700
Hours: Mon-Sun 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM
Just west of Shoreline Community College, this combination of urban parks provides some extremely tall trees, little rivers, and a network of (mostly) decent paths with a few ups and downs. Wildflowers, ferns, moss, and birds may all be found here.
There’s even a “secret” artificial lake here now, built when aviation legend William Boeing held property here in the 1920s. He established a private hunting and fishing preserve, replete with his own fish hatchery to replenish the lake’s supply.
The site was later given to the city of Shoreline by Boeing. Originally intended as a school location, it eventually became a municipal park, which is a boon to hikers today.
However, the future of Hidden Lake is now in jeopardy. The city of Shoreline is working on plans to demolish the dam and restore the creek’s natural flow. More details on the numerous elements at play in this situation. Some aspects of your walk may change if or when the dam (and lake) is dismantled.

(206) 801-2700
Hours: Mon-Sun 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM
As you descend from the highway, you’ll encountered many levels of parking. The children’s playground is closest to the top parking. The lowest level offered plenty of room and was the nearest to the beach. Even though it was nearby, you still had to walk down a little paved slope and cross a bridge over railway lines before reaching the beach. Depending on your speed, add another five minutes or more.
Many of the whales, dolphins, seals, otters, and other animals that can be seen from the park are shown on a big placard. The best time to see whales were in the autumn and winter.
