Discovery Park
Seattle, USA
Discovery Park is a 534-acre natural area in Seattle, framed by the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. It features forest trails, open meadows, and a sandy beach, along with the historic West Point Lighthouse built in 1881. This urban park is the city’s largest and offers a crucial green space for both wildlife and residents.
Plan for a half-day visit to explore its diverse trails and scenic viewpoints, especially along the bluffs overlooking the water. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for fewer crowds and better lighting for photography. Note that parking can fill up quickly on weekends.
