Just a few blocks south from the beach blanket and ice cream shack mayhem of Alki Beach, Schmitz Park is a veritable time warp back to a Seattle before the European settlers came. Home to the only remaining stand of old-growth forest in the city, it's been left alone for wanderers to discover. Some of the cedars are 800 years old!

We walked up from Alki, which is actually quite manageable. The trails themselves are fairly well maintained; they could be a little better kept so the hills don't slide, but overall they're definitely in good enough condition to take a leisurely walk through.
MoreThis is a great place to hike and just take a walk. Its so peaceful and the trees are tall. Mostly dirt path so it can get muddy. There is a creek where you can listen and enjoy nature.
MoreThis natural preserve is great for exploring or walking your dog. It has various trails . Enjoy this treasure.
MoreYou can walk up to the park from Alki or there is a small parking lot at the park (which is often full on the weekends) The is a beautiful wooded area, great for walking in almost any weather.
MoreSchmitz Park is one of the many small parks in Seattle that many people are unaware of. If you're in West Seattle and looking for a walk in some beautiful woods try Schmitz Park.
