Blyth Park

This used to be my favorite park as a little kid. Right on the Burke Gil and there isn’t a child in the world that doesn’t love that tire mountain. A lot of good memories here playing as a young one.

I grew up here. The old park experience was better. The worst thing about this park is their disc golf course. There’s no longer a quiet place to sit and relax because they’re all taken up by the course. You find someplace to stop and enjoy your lunch away from the screaming children and you end up getting yelled at by the disc golfers. Blythe park is no longer a quiet place to relax near the slough, it’s an activity location. Go there if that’s what you want but if you want to relax, go elsewhere.

I only go to Blyth Park for one thing… disc golf! Yah! I really enjoy this course despite it’s wet muddy personality. There are lots of trees, narrow fairways and neat approaches so it keeps me interested. True it would be nice if it weren’t so smooshy but that just seems to be a problem no matter where you go on this side of the mountains. The only thing I don’t like are the shady disc golfers that throw through you and dump their beer cans everywhere… seriously have some respect people.

awesome park for my two toddlers! i do not have to be right under them the entire time they are playing on the equipment, a lot of the items are toddler and preschooler sized. nice covered area for barbecuing, swings, lots of open grassy area, trails, etc. we love playing here!

I don’t use the Playground area. I am usually Here playing Disc golf, Nice little 9 hole course. In wooded area Some tight lines. Good for beginners

Play Area (3 stars)
Play area is nice but showing it’s age. Despite it’s lack of spit and shine, it’s very sturdy and playable. Good number of slides and Big Swings, plus a Mountain of Tires to climb on. Lots of room to run and play and I even saw a nearby volley ball court.
Beware smells of yummy yummy barbecuing. Great place for a BBQ or Picnic with a sizable covered area.
This play structure may lack some thrills for the older kids, but is well suited for 2 to 5 year olds.
Parking (3 Stars)
A good sized parking available. However I didn’t spot an overflow lot, so come early to claim your spot at peak summer times.
SPF (4 Stars)
Benches and picnic tables with lots of shade choices.

The park is tuck in a quiet neighborhood. It’s very conveniently connected to the BG trial. I will go there again.

Great park for all.

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.

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.»

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.
