Heritage Park — Attraction in Lynnwood

An adorable little tucked away park with historical Alderwood Manor landmarks and a preserved train cart. Despite it being next to a busy road, the moment you step onto the premises it feels somehow distant from it all. It's a little hard to explain; everything becomes quiet and disconnected from the rest of town, leaving one to connect peacefully with nature. Though very small it is mighty, with loads of foliage- some I had never seen before! Gorgeous trees of all sorts and plenty of photo opportunities. I actually will be coming back with my paints because I was inspired. I originally came upon this place when my husband and I were geocaching a great many years ago and it looks/feels exactly the same. Lots of historical information dotted about in the front and plenty of parking. Ive never seen it be too busy. A delightful little gem one would never expect could transport you to a calmer place, especially given that it is across the street from car dealerships! If you're looking for a little local tranquility, I very much...

I'm so glad they made this park, preserving not only historic structures but also some amazing nature. If you go back to the playground or the picnic area you can enjoy beautiful green grass, trees, and wetlands. I grew up playing in this area before it was a park, and it's great to see it being conserved for future generations when so much of what used to be green wetlands has been paved over. I encourage anybody to go there and enjoy the history, the playground, the beauty, or the quiet. It's a wonderful place to bring kids, dogs, and people curious about local history or nature. It's also great if you just need somewhere...

I was a chaperone on a field trip of 5th graders. I thought it was very interesting to learn about the history of the Alderwood Manor area of Lynnwood, but the 10 & 11 year olds were less enthusiastic. The docents were fantastic and I loved getting to see all the old pictures, get tours of the trolley and buildings, and get some backstory on why the buildings are here. The docents suggested to the students that coming back on a Saturday with parents would give us more time to ask questions...
