4 reviews for Blythe Park
I grew up in this park, literally.
I learned to skateboard here. I learned to ride a bike here and on the connection to the Burke-Gilman Trail. I got my very first bee sting here.
I've been to and thrown countless birthday parties here.
And I nearly killed myself countless times on the long replaced bars doing penny drops and the long gone "monster metal slide".
I still go here quite often. The park has changed over the years, but not enough that you could leave for a decade and come back and know just where you were.
Parking can be a challenge, but it's connection via the trail to Bothell Landing means there are gravel lots and the Landing parking to choose from.
Covered picnic areas, huge open spaces, hiking trails up into the greenbelt areas, 2 "big toys", swings, volleyball net...
If you haven't been, you should go more often.

I went to Blythe Park every weekend when I was a kid.
Don't mess with my childhood.
This place is awesome, and has been taken care of very well. As the park shows signs of wear they're re-painted, and new play items are put up to slowly replace and maintain the structure without removing the kids' favorite toys. Additionally, kids and adults can run, jump, or roll down the steep hill towards the water, where ducks poop and people get messy. Then they can all climb to the top, so the adults can drink a beer while the kids run until they pass out from exhaustian.
Ah, those were the days.

This is a really great park for get togethers. The only set back is the parking lot is kind of small. However, the grounds stretch forever!! There is a good sized playground for kids, including a killer swing set, hiking trails, a covered BBQ area and access to the Sammamish River.
If you like kids, or have some procreations of your own, you'll all love Blythe. It has toys and tunnels and hills and swingsets for the little ones, and picnic chairs, sunny grass, and great places to hide kegs for the "big kids."
