Needing an adventure out of the house (and our immediate neighborhood), and not wanted to venture too far, my family, and I hopped in a car on a recent weekend to explore Westcrest Park in Southwest Seattle.

Westcrest Park is part of Seattle Parks and Recreation, but is quite close to the White Center neighborhood, located between West Seattle and Burien.  We meandered around the trails, visited the large dog park, and the kids enjoyed themselves immensely on the playground.

Are we the only ones who visit dog parks without a dog? Back before we had or rescue terrier, Norman (who passed away 1.5 years ago), Slaed and I would often visit Seattle’s Magnuson Park just to check out all the dog varieties, and watch them play and frolic.  This visit to Westcrest Park reminded us of those carefree days of just being responsible for ourselves!

Join us (and see where we ended up for lunch!) by watching our Westcrest Park/White Center Adventure!
