Discovery Park
At 534 acres (216 hectares), Discovery Park is the largest park in Seattle, and it features some of the most stunning views within city limits. On top of seaside bluffs, visitors can overlook the Puget Sound, islands and the Olympic Mountains to the west. Look south, and Mount Rainier and the city skyline rise above the horizon. The park, which used to be a military fort, features hiking and jogging trails through acres of forest. Down below, a sandy beach adorned with a lighthouse snakes around the park. Lucky visitors encounter baby seals sleeping on the beach, sea lions swimming just offshore or bald eagles perched on trees. There also are wide open grassy areas on top of the bluffs. Away from the slice of nature, there also is the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, which hosts art by Native American artists.
