Activities

Say hello to the earth, meet new people, and contribute to the restoration of this great patch of forested natural area. The 2.2-mile Jackson Park Trail in North Seattle encircles the Jackson Park Golf Course, passing through pockets of forest, crossing Thornton Creek, and offering views of the golf course/green space. We’re continuing to transform the natural areas by removing ivy, blackberry and other invasive plants and putting native plant species in their place. It’s hard! It’s fun! You’ll love it!

Where to Meet

We work along the trail but meet near the entrance of the Jackson Park Golf Course (Address: 1100 NE 135th St - just east of I-5 and South of NE 145th). At 10, you’ll find us near the white sculpture outside the entrance to the golf course parking lot. If you arrive late, please call Elly at 206-679-0935 so you can find the group.

Where to Park

There’s a small trailhead parking area by the trail kiosk and lots of golf course overflow parking by the white sculpture, both at NE 135th and 11th NE.
Metro buses (#73, 373, 347, 348, 77) stop at NE 135th and 15th NE. From there, just walk uphill on NE 135th to the sculpture/meeting place. Or take #41 to Roosevelt and 125th and walk north on 10th NE.
