A great outing with kids in West Seattle starts at Roxhill Park.

Let them explore the large playground that’s constructed entirely out of wood. It’s fun to see a playground that’s different from the others, and the kids I’ve watched at this park love exploring all the passageways and hiding places.

After they’ve had time to play, take a walk following Longfellow Creek, a greenspace that starts at Roxhill Park and goes for several miles. Follow the winding trails that crisscross the creek over small footbridges.

As this is preserved wetland, have kids keep their eyes out for wildlife. Try to spot salamanders and the wide variety of birds that like this quiet part of West Seattle.

Plenty of trail markers point you in the right direction or print this map to help you find your way.
