Hidden away in the southern reaches of West Seattle, Lincoln Park in many respects is the ultimate archetype of a Seattle park. Big but not too big, woodsy but not too densely forested, everything is just right. The beach is perfect for exploring, the meadows just right for Frisbee and the picnic areas nicely sheltered. And, Colman Pool—open only during summer- lets you experience the salty waters of Puget Sound without the icy temperatures. If that doesn't provide waves enough, walk out of the park to the south and hop the ferryboat for a scenic 15-minute ride over to Vashon Island.

tripadvisorWe came across this park when my daughter wanted to see another troll by Thomas Dambo. I'm glad we came because this park offered a beautiful view of Puget Sound, complete with pebble stone beach and lots of drift wood. It was a very pleasant walk along the waterfront. A nice change of pace from the hustle of Seattle proper. It needs to be stop on your next trip.
MoreA visit to Lincoln Park along the shores of Puget Sound is a wonderful way to spend time outdoors in Seattle. The park offers complimentary parking lots, plenty of picnic areas for both large and small groups, a playground, covered shelters, outdoor restrooms, and it’s very dog- and bicycle-friendly.One of the best parts is simply relaxing along the waterfront path and watching the steady stream of Washington State Ferries traveling back and forth across the Sound. During the summer months, the park even features an outdoor swimming pool.Our main reason for visiting was to see Bruun Idun created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, and it did not disappoint. While walking the Puget Sound trail to find the troll, we also spotted a bald eagle perched in its nest—very cool! After snapping photos, we were treated to a beautiful sunset over the water. With nature, art, and incredible views all in one place.
Moreonce we parked up we set off exploring this parka lot bigger than expectedenjoyed walking along the coastline and got the see the troll
MoreIt's best to get a map before going and find out the steeper trails. There's a pool and restrooms which aren't very clean. But the view of the ferry terminal is nice. The new troll is near the Coleman Pool.
MoreBeautiful park. Went to see the troll Bruun Idun. Downhill to the beach section of the park, all uphill on the way back. Wear your walking shoes. Vigorous walk back to the top.
