Mathison Park,

"Nice neighborhood but not much walking in the actual park. It's okay for a small dog. My friend and I ended up walking through the neighborhood across from the park."

"Love walking my dog here. Good exercise. You can watch planes depart and land. It can be real serene. Woodsy, couple of paths to take."

"Great park for kids, there's a playground for toddlers and a separate playground for bigger kids. Pretty private, but welcoming area. There's a nice loop trail for hiking or dog walking."

"Two play structures (one big, one little) and picnic tables with grills dominate the north end of this hilltop wooded 5 acre park. From S. 146th Street you might not realize the park extends two city blocks to the south, dropping nearly 100’ in elevation down to S 148th Street, offering some nice views along the way. Two trails are clearly marked, both with a grade ranging from 2-10%. One is a soft surface trail (with a few stairs) for hikers, and the other trail is wide, nicely paved, and ADA compliant. The paved trail is dotted with benches, picnic tables with barbecue grills, and lovely views. The south entrance to the park is not that clearly marked, and the interpretive trailhead is also not obvious."

"Overall this is a great Park to take your kids! The downsides are there is no parking and only one porta potty. There are two play structures one for older kids and one for smaller kids, four swings, two of which are for toddlers, and a seriously fun climbing wall. I didn't get the chance to check out the trails going off towards the back but it seemed very dog friendly."
