Pigeon Point Park

Natural Oasis in the City

Located in West Seattle, Pigeon Point Park is one of those serene areas that makes you forget you're still within city limits. It's part of the West Duwamish Greenbelt - Seattle's largest continuous forest stretching over 550 acres from Pigeon Point all the way to Westcrest Park.

If you're craving a quick nature fix, this is your spot. The dense canopy of trees creates a peaceful retreat where local wildlife makes its home. Keep your eyes peeled for birds darting between branches and the occasional small mammal scurrying through the underbrush.

Take a Wander

The network of trails here isn't extensive, but that's part of the charm. You can take a leisurely stroll through the forest, breathe in that distinctive woodland air, and simply disconnect for a while.

One of the rewards for exploring Pigeon Point is catching those unexpected views of the Duwamish River and, on clear days, glimpses of Seattle's skyline peeking through the trees. The elevated position of the park makes for some surprisingly good perspective on the surrounding area.

More Than Just Pretty Trees

This isn't just a nice place to walk your dog or take a midday break. The park functions as a green buffer between nearby homes and the industrial zones that border this part of Seattle.

The park has become something of a community project too. Local groups and volunteers regularly contribute to restoration work, helping maintain the health of this urban forest ecosystem.
