Best New Playgrounds Around Seattle, the Eastside and South Sound in 2019

Surrey Downs, a new park in Bellevue, beckons families with its colorful play structures, zip line and gorgeous view of Mount Rainier. Kids will love wide net climbers, the twisty slide and green phone-booth-looking towers. A paved path circles a big grassy lawn, providing space for running, cartwheels or laps on a bike. There’s also a set of swings, including a double-seater, and a basketball court at this gem of a park.
