Work It Out: 7 Seattle-Area Parks With Exercise Equipment for Grown-Ups

For adults: Eastside families know that Marymoor Park is the grandmommy of parks serving diverse interests. The Seattle nonprofit MOMentum, started by Seattle moms Paige Green Dunn and Kelly Singer, raised the funds to have Kompan equipment installed around one of the two playgrounds at Marymoor. You’ll find gliders called free riders that provide a light cardio workout, plus sit-up benches and equipment for leg lifts, abs and arms.

For kids: The playground with the adult fitness equipment is located near Lot K and has two large play structures that feature slides, climbing nets, bridges and tunnels. Also nearby are swings and other small play equipment including a popular dinosaur kids can ride on.

Find it: 6046 West Lake Sammamish Parkway N.E., Redmond. Park in Lot K for $1.

Also nearby: Explore other parts of Marymoor Park, which has another playground, as well as flat trails perfect for biking, a large off-leash dog park and a climbing pinnacle where it’s fun for kids to watch expert climbers.
