Rainier Beach Playfield, South Seattle
Rainier Beach Playfield has a phenomenal playground packed with fun equipment, including one of the longest zip lines in Seattle. Jump off the little hill for a long, smooth ride. This Seattle playground also has a tall net climber and other challenging rope elements, including a cool bridge. The wonderful Rainier Beach Pool — arguably the best among Seattle Parks’ pools — is located adjacent to the playground if you want to make your trip into a longer outing.
Location: 8802 Rainier Ave. S. in South Seattle. Parking is available in the lot near the playground. The South Henderson Street light rail station is located half a mile to the west of the park, and buses stop outside the pool and community center.
