It’s spring, a great time to check out the renovated Seahurst Park. Check out the beautiful landscaping, the new playground, and the new fish ladder. See the B-Town Blog for details about the park renovation. We’ll hike on the trails from the beach and if we’re lucky, we’ll see Washington’s state flower, the trillium.
Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2015
Time: Meet 5-10 minutes before 9:00 so we can start walking promptly at 9:00 am.
Meeting Place: In front of the restroom building in the lower public parking/turnaround area of Seahurst Park.
Parking: Either park in the lower lot or in the upper lot and walk down to our meeting place.
Directions: From Ambaum Blvd., turn west on SW 144th Street. Then turn right on 13th Ave. SW. and follow this all the way down to the beach.
Walking route: The trail within the park is about 2.5 miles round trip with 400′ gain. Trails in the park may be muddy depending on previous rainfall, so wear appropriate footwear.
1) We will follow the south shoreline trail to the end and come back to the restroom building.
2) Proceed past the restroom building to the north service road. Take off on the right fork to the north trail.
3) Keep following the north trail as it crosses the service road several times. You’ll have gained about 400′ when you pop out into the residential area around SW 131st Street.
4) We’ll take the service road back down to the shore, enjoying a beautiful vista of Vashon Island.
5) When you return to the restroom building, you’ll have walked about 2.5 miles, for an hour or so.
