Explore the over 300 acres of Green Lake Park, an expanse of water and nature in the middle of a crowded urban neighborhood. Pack a basket for a picnic, bring your swimsuit to go swimming or boating in the freshwater lake, or hike, bike and skate along the 2.8-mile path that stretches along the water.

Prepare to be surprised at The Funhouse. A dive bar by day, this Halloween-themed bar and nightlife destination transforms into a live music venue by night. Listen to the music of great local and national bands, relax on the outside patio, shoot a few basketball hoops or test your pinball skills indoors.

Put yourself to the test at the Stone Gardens Seattle rock climbing gym. Choose different climbing options for the 16,000 feet of recreational climbing surface. Head indoors for the 65-foot lead roof and the option to boulder (climb without a rope) should you wish to challenge yourself. Beginners are also welcome, and may enjoy the classes and the simple 40-foot outdoor wall.
