TD W. • September 20, 2014The perfect park for a trail walk/run/hike with old growth forest & lake/mt views. 2.5 paved loop has plenty of dogs & smiles in the morning :)

John P. • February 13, 2010A great place to watch the sunset and walk your dogs on-leash. The main loop definitely gets crowded when the weather is warm and/dry.

Denise F. • February 16, 2016Great view, calm, silence, good for walking with your dog or meditate.

Bradley A. E. • February 8, 2010Schmitz Preserve Park is a veritable Oasis in the otherwise Urban environment of West Seattle. Once you are down in the Ravine the sounds of Civilization, literally, disappear!

Katy I. • May 22, 2013Wear your knee high rain boots for this one. The name speaks the truth. I slipped off the muddy path and thigh deep into the marsh. It was funny...but also wet, cold and muddy. Otherwise a hidden jem!
