48th Ave Northeast, Laurelhurst / Sand Point

Laurelhurst Park is just east of the U-District (University of Washington) and provides a great place for local residents to take their kids and enjoy the area. Offering a couple of baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a large play field, playground and the Laurelhurst Community Center, the park has something to offer everyone. For the most part, the park is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, though the Seattle Children's Hospital and Laurelhurst Elementary School sit to the north end. The park doesn't offer much parking, but the lot can be found at the south side off of NE 41st St.

Laurelhurst Park is a terrific spot for local residents to enjoy the outdoors, play and take their kids. It provides the huge trees and foliage that Seattle is known for, and offers a relaxing place to take a break close to home.
