#DISCOVERY PARK FIRE FREE#
Visiting the cultural center is free (though, donations are appreciated) and it’s open from 9 to 5 on weekdays.
Learn About the History of Seattle's Indigenous Tribes: In honor of this history and the wider history of Native American tribes in and around Seattle, the park is home to the Daybreak Star Cultural Center-a 20-acre event space and conference center that not only hosts larger events and pow-wows, but also a preschool, family services programs, an art gallery and more. On the forested trails, you might see an owl or raccoons. Seals and cranes like to spend time on the beaches (don’t expect too many on busy days, though). Go Wildlife Spotting: Since Discovery Park is also one of the most natural spots in Seattle, wildlife still hangs out here pretty regularly. On clear days, you’ll find top-notch views of Mount Rainier and the Olympics and on clear evenings, the beaches are some of the best spots in town to watch a sunset. In fact, the beaches are the most beautiful spots in this overall beautiful park. The active lighthouse is quaint, cute, and extremely picturesque against a backdrop of mountains and Puget Sound views. Enjoy the Beaches and Lighthouse: Many visitors make a point to see the West Point Lighthouse, which is on the far side of the park. The return may be a bit difficult since it's all uphill, but as the elevation gain is only 380 feet, it's not too intense. Birds Nest and Lookout Beach: This 2.6-mile out and back trail has several stunning views of the Olympics mountains. The 1.8-mile loop travels along the beach and is relatively easy save for a group of stairs and an incline on the return. North Beach and Hidden Valley Loop: If you love walks on the beach, this is the trail for you. There is a 328-foot elevation gain and while the trail is rated moderate, it's still doable for beginner hikers. South Beach and Hidden Valley Loop Trail: This moderate 2.4-mile loop trail is great for bird watching, scenic views, and a beach detour. Some portions of the trail are unpaved and aren't friendly to wheelchair users. There is a slight elevation gain of 472 feet and leashed dogs are allowed on the trail. Discovery Park and Lighthouse Loop Trail: This popular, relatively easy, 4.4-mile trail takes hikers on a loop through much of the park with views of forest, beach, and lighthouses.
