Walt Hundley Playfield

Looking for a spot in West Seattle to kick a soccer ball, throw a football, toss a baseball, play lacrosse, or sling the Frisbee? Situated behind Our Lady of Guadalupe and a block off 35th Walt Hundley offers a lot of open space to enjoy on a NW day. The park also offers a stunning view of downtown Seattle as well as the Cascade Mountains. It's a great place to fly a kite if you are in need of open sky. The bathrooms are open and well they are park restrooms but work in an emergency. Pretty cool spot to let the kids run free and wide.
