Lincoln Park Playground
📍 West Seattle, WA
Playground set within Lincoln Park in West Seattle, surrounded by forested trails leading to the Puget Sound shoreline. A carved troll sculpture is located near the shore, not at the playground itself.
Very crowded when I went. We had a wonderful walk nonetheless.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who enjoy combining playground time with trail walking and shoreline exploration. The forested setting appeals to kids who like to hike and discover. Reserve weekend mornings for lighter crowds; the park draws heavy local use on sunny days.

“I just want to note that the Troll is not located here as shown in the pictures. It is located closed to the shore.”

Overview
Lincoln Park Playground is embedded within Lincoln Park, a 135-acre forested reserve in West Seattle. The play area anchors family visits before or after trail walks that descend to the Puget Sound waterfront. A carved troll — often tagged in photos — sits near the shoreline, not at the playground coordinates. Park popularity means crowding on weekends, so weekday visits yield a calmer experience.
