G. Magnuson Park is big - a bike is a good way to see it all! You can
ride on any paved surface in the park. Don't miss the breathtaking views
of Lake Washington along the shoreline to the east.
Arrive via the Burke-Gilman Trail, or tote your bike to the park in
a vehicle. From the Burke-Gilman Trail, ride about a quarter-mile east
to the park entrance at N.E. 65th Street. For younger bicycle
riders, the best place to enter the park is also at N.E. 65th
Street as there are crosswalks and traffic signals there. If you're
in a vehicle, enter the park from Sand Point Way N.E. at N.E. 65th
Street or N.E. 74th Street and take a spot in any nearby
parking lot.
While riding, be sure to watch for cars, pedestrians, strollers and
other bicycle riders. Please stay on paved surfaces; dirt trails are
reserved for walking since the park environment is fragile.
Need air in your tires or snacks for your pack? Near the 74th
Street entrance you can find air for a small fee and snack foods at
a convenience store, or pastries and other sweets at a nearby bakery.
