The last time we walked to Mathison Park was in Wintertime on the December 2011 Walk-n-Talk. Let’s check it out in the Springtime to see how it’s changed!

This Sunday, May 6, we’ll meet at Burien Town Square at our usual 2:00. The 2.1 mile route takes us up and over Hwy 509, to Mathison Park at Burien’s highest point, where we’ll walk the park’s pathway and grounds.

WHAT/WHO: This is a FREE Walk-n-Talk open to people of all abilities, including families and dogs.
(Walk-n-Talkers should know that though this walk is “only” 2.1 miles, it does include the slope up to Mathison Park, which can be a challenge for those with mobility issues.)
WHERE: Meet on the grassy knoll at Burien Town Square, at 5th Place SW and SW 152nd Street.
WALK TO: Mathison Park: 533 S 146th St., Burien WA
WHEN: Sunday May 6, meet at 2:00 p.m., start walking at 2:15 p.m.
