Lincoln Park, West Seattle
Bike paths are just the start when it comes to what West Seattle’s signature waterfront park, Lincoln Park, has to offer. Riders exploring the bike trails can dismount along the beach to collect shells and build sandcastles, then continue toward the playground at the park’s north end with its tree-house-inspired elements. A makeover of the park’s south playground should be complete by this summer.
While you’re there, don’t miss seeing one of Thomas Dambo’s trolls in the forest.
Find it: Lincoln Park is located at 8011 Fauntleroy Way S.W. in Seattle.
Trail details: The park boasts 3.9 miles of bike paths, including a paved trail that begins by the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal and runs along the beach.
Nearby: During the summer months, cool off after your ride with a dip at the park’s outdoor saltwater pool featuring ocean views, a water slide and diving boards. Pick up lunch at popular neighborhood spot Tacquitos Feliz.
