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

For kids and adults: Green Lake Park is a classic Seattle exercise spot, offering a 2.8-mile flat, paved trail that is for ideal strollers, or a walk or run while your child bikes, scoots or skates. You’ll find adult workout stations in a few spots along the path if you keep your eye out. Stop near the Green Lake Community Center for a rest and some fun on the large playground, or even a family swim in the Evans Pool if it's open.

Find it: There is free parking in several lots around the lake and on side streets, though it can be tough to find on sunny days.

Also nearby: If you’ve exhausted your activities at Green Lake (with the playground, two beach areas and even a pitch-and-putt golf course, this is difficult to do), wander up the hill and across the stone bridges over Aurora Avenue North to explore the play equipment at the West Woodland Park Playground (near the corner of Phinney Avenue North and North 59th Street) or the Sensory Garden at the Woodland Park Zoo’s rose garden.
