Park at Bothell Landing

One of my favorite local parks. It has a dream like feel to it no matter what time of year you visit or what the weather is like. It can get crowded on the paved trails and a bit dizzying with foot traffic, dogs and cyclists. But there are plenty of spots to sit and take in the beauty.

Gorgeous trail along the river. There seem to be many trails that connect through this area. I loved running the trails each morning during my time in Bothell! I was here during the winter, so the little older buildings were not open to explore, but they look intriguing! Beautiful park!

We frequently visit this park. It’s quiet and is a wonderful area to soak in your surroundings and relax. My children love the playground. It’s nothing big and fancy but adequate enough to burn off some extra energy. I personally like that it’s a smaller playground as it’s easier to keep an eye on your little ones. It’s a wonderful spot for the entire family, including your furry friends.

Great focal point of downtown Bothell area with a small park along the water. This park is connected by a bridge to Sammamish trail. It’s clean and well maintained. Great place for families, joggers/​bikers, and dog walkers. Really enjoy going here with my dog for him to have access to soft green grass. There is also a playground and few buildings. At the far end, they are expanding the park, but on that side there’s a water entry point with a small business that offers kayak rentals.
This a very scenic and nice little escape. Recommend this to anyone.

Such a beautiful trail along the river with lush vegetation and lovely bridges.

I enjoy coming to this little park to let my dog walk on nice patches of soft green grass. Only bad part about this park is that there’s tons of duck and geese so TBH that also means tons of bird poo. However, one cool aspect of the park is that there’s a rental place for kayaks and paddle boards that’s directly off the entry point into the water.
The park seems very well maintained since it’s completely free of trash and is very clean (minus all the bird poo). The little village and bridge are very pretty with a background of large trees especially the large willow next to the water.
I regularly see photos taken here for engagement, prom, and even weddings. I’d say that it’s definitely scenic enough. In case you want to take photos here just remember it is a public park so there may be kids running behind your shot or bikers/​runners headed to trail across the bridge.

This is a fantastic place to take the family and an awesome spot for photographers to take pictures of kids, families and seniors. I visit often and love it.

This place is great for a day of fun! There is a kayak rental place in the park and it’s right next to downtown Bothell with a ton of good places to eat and explore. This park is also right on the Burke Gil trail so if you want to use this as a bicycle park and ride it will work.

I’m not a big Bothell fan, but I may have to re-​evaluate that, after visiting this gorgeous park today.
My kid needed some senior photos professionally done and she preferred an outdoor venue for the photo shoot, so we met the Yen Lui photographer here today. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with this park!
There’s a wooden pedestrian bridge. There’s a gazebo. There’s playground equipment. There’s awesome trails for walking, running, biking and dog-​walking, running alongside the slough river. There’s a small amphitheater. There’s lots of ducks and geese. There are picnic tables and a few small grills. There’s a historic pioneer house, a log cabin and the cutest red one-​room schoolhouse from the 1860s (it’s so cute, it doesn’t look real — but it IS). There’s a small yoga studio. I really liked how there are mens and womens bathrooms there that are clean, functional and warm (what a delightful surprise, on all counts! lol).
I loved seeing so many kids, families, couples and dog-​walkers enjoying this park today, and I totally understood why this park was chosen by Yen Lui as an outdoor venue for picture shoots: it’s incredibly picturesque. Between the trees and meandering pathways and quaint wooden bridge and white picket gazebo, there’s a photo opportunity around every corner here. And I’m sure it’s stunning in the fall, when the leaves turn colors, too.
What a lovely park! Good job, Bothell.

I don’t know why for so long that I thought Bothell was sort of this middle of nowhere un-​special place. I couldn’t have been more wrong and I’ll be spending the rest of my days correcting that error by raving about how cute Bothell is. This park is a perfect example of what Bothell is to me now, so this was a good lesson in not having an opinion about a place until you’ve really been there to see it for yourself.
A friend of mine moved to Kenmore recently and on a gorgeous day we were looking for somewhere to get some exercise and sunshine. We headed to the Park at Bothell Landing and found ourselves right smack in the middle of all kinds of fun activities. The Landing is a great outdoor venue but there are walking trails, bike paths, people kayaking, canoeing and rafting down the river below, and so much more.
There’s a play area for kids, a little museum, a yoga studio. I was floored! And on a quieter day there is ample parking right at the Park so you don’t have to leave your car a mile away.
We walked a few miles to discover the area and can’t wait to come back with bikes one day and kayaks the next.

As new residents of Bothell, we’ve been busy exploring the area to find our favorite spots. Yesterday afternoon, the kiddies & I took their scooters down to The Landing to check out the trails & play area.
First of all, the setting is BEAUTIFUL. Washington, we’re finding, is beautiful, but we’re still unaccustomed to the natural beauty surrounding us!
The flowing river, beautiful wood bridge, lovely trails — we can’t wait until we’re completely unpacked & can take the time for family bike rides down Burke-​Gilman Trail!
That said, the little historical buildings along the front of this park are cute & might provide some amusement on a weekend when they’re open. Access to Burke-​Gilman is a plus. The play structure was a lot of fun for my 7 y/​o, but a little babyish for my 10 y/​o — we’ll still be on the look-​out for a bigger play structure for him to enjoy, but it was a pleasant outing for all of us!

A cute little park near the river. Near the heart of Bothell Washington. Well within walking distance of cute little shops and nice places to eat. Fun place to visit.

We love this park for the playground and water fowl feeding (sshh). There are lots of tall trees but sun can still get thru in some area. For us, that combination is perfect. There are walking trail on on side and the Sammamish bike trail on the other, separated by the Sammamish river. There’s a nice old bridge you can take to connect the two sides or enjoy the view. Walking trail leads to a dead end and it’s around quarter mile or half mile or I don’t know it’s as long as you make it to be if you don’t want to enjoy watching the squirrels or the little birdies. The bike trail merge into Burke Gilman at a point somewhere near Woodinville. During Summer time, there’s kayak and boat rental near the boat launch area so for us fowl feeding move to another spot to avoid complaints from the occasional self appointed duck police who patrol the launch area and think: a. Bread pollute water, b. Bread makes the ducks fat. What granola, gluten free, animal lovers! There are two sets of toddler swings and non toddler swings, four slides, somewhat hull of a ship your kids could go nuts at. Patrons that we’ve met have been nice, courteous and follow the playground rules. This little park is really charming and awsome. Try it, you won’t regret it.

Pretty good park. Has some historic sites around the playground area. Next to a river that has a couple spanning bridges over it. A pretty nice walk for the family but on the downside bike traffic can sometimes be pretty heavy. Lots of older folks walking there lap dogs around and if you have a dog bigger than their Pomeranian guaranteed they are going to look at you like your the anti-​Christ. Take a stroll on the North side of the river. It’s has a lot less traffic and room to explore for the kiddies. Also that side has a wooden boardwalk detour in a marsh area that’s pretty sweet.

Beware of the scary men walking around with 18 packs of beer.
One guy tried to approach me and my mom’s standard poodle wasn’t having it, Herman growled at him and lounged once the guy got too close to us… the guy walked away (carrying his beer) screaming «fuckin’ poodles!» and then flipped off Herman!
I haven’t been here since my dog Paco passed away, but when I use to go for jogs alone here with him, I definitely saw some drug deals go down. You’d be stupid to come up to a huge german shepherd, so no one directly bothered me but I was well aware of my surroundings and grew tired of the weirdos.
As much as I hate to say it, I wouldn’t come here alone and walk along the trail– really questionable activity going on.

I love the Bothell Landing. It is super quaint and pretty. Last year we had our engagement photos taken there and it turned out to be a wonderful backdrop to our photos. There is a really beautiful bridge and also a couple small historical buildings that really add to it’s charm.
Don’t be surprised if you see chickens or ducks roaming around. Also, It is normally a pretty busy place as the Burke-​Gilman Trail runs right through it.

I teach belly dance classes at the Lytle House, in the park, and have enjoyed walking in the park before my classes. For those who have kids, the city recreation department offers a lot of classes for children, too.
mellilah

We came back! A fellow Unilocaler told me that there was a large gravel parking lot nearby (just down the curve) which was good to know! (Thank you, R!) The parking lot by the park was full. My dog and I took a walk down on the Sammarish River Trail. We did have one interesting incident. We ran into a rooster and a hen on the path… I assume they were wild/​feral. My dog was very very very interested the birds. I am not sure where they came from. but they do not seem aggressive, so we moved on.
We did enjoy our walk. There were garbage cans in various spots. Plenty of birds and small animals that would get your dog’s attention on a nice day. I did appreciate the mile marker but I didn’t see one after mile 10 and we walked pretty far…
We will be back another day to go in the other direction :-)

Paid gov’t holiday and day one of «mid winter break» means only one thing: Get out of house and wear out the children… now!
I grew up in this park and it’s closeby hidden sister, Blythe Park.
For it’s location in downtown Bothell, this park offers you a whole lot.
Walking trails, picnic areas, kiddie play lot, access to shops, eats, the B-​G bike trail, open grass areas and ample spots of shade and sun in summer time.
Bothell is good at throwing «city events» here almost year round and it’s worth it every time.
Got kids? perfect
Want to ride your bike? Perfect
Want to spend the day holding hands and having a picnic? Perfect
Want to take your Ivar’s to go and enjoy the scenery? Perfect
Failed your driving test again and need to cry under a tree? Perfect

It really is a nice park. It even has an iconic white bridge to help you safely traverse over the slough. So, I want to give it another shot, but too many traumatic things happened to me as a child at this park including:
*The Geese Incident*
My younger sister and I had scraped our allowance together, rode our bikes down to The Ranch Drive-​In and bought ourselves some krinkle cut fries to enjoy at the park. Unfortunately, geese also like french fries and we were chased! Chased until we finally relented and threw our fries and made a mad dash to hide out in the bathroom.
*The Faux Leech Incident*
Along one of the tributaries there was this aluminum tube that was probably 4 feet in diameter so we had plenty of room to traverse through it as «an adventure.» Well, the bottom was all mossy, and I slipped in the muddy gross water, and since I had just seen Stand by Me, I started freaking out that there were going to be leeches all over me. I never lived that down. Occasionally, if my family thinks I’m overreacting they’ll start yelling «LEECHES! LEECHES!!!»
*The Little Michelle B Falls into the Slough during a Brownie outing while singing a very animated version of Skinamarinkydinkydink*
I think that one is fairly self explanatory.
