Acreage: 7.7
This large park is nearly hidden on the south end of Beacon Hill. Tricky to access either on foot or by car, you’ll find Dearborn Park close to Dearborn Park Elementary, although the better entrance is on the back off the residential S. Brandon St.
If you’re walking the popular Chief Sealth Trail, take a detour to visit this wooded park that offers two sets of accessible looping trails. There’s also a good playground, several picnic tables and tennis courts.

IslandWood is an environmental education non-profit on Bainbridge Island. Seattle elementary schools visit our campus for one week to stay at the “School in the Woods.” During their stay, their awareness of flora and fauna is often heightened, and they return to the “city” ready to find the natural world in their everyday life. This blog is a stellar example of doing just that!
