Schmitz Preserve Park, commonly referred to as Schmitz Park, stretches along 15 city blocks near Alki Point in West Seattle, spanning an area of more than 53 acres.
The park's lands were donated to the city in 1908 by area pioneers Emma and Ferdinand Schmitz, with additional area added to the park throughout the 20th century to bring the park up to its current size. Today, the park is home to one of the city's final remaining old-growth forest stands, protected as a result of preservation policies enacted throughout the mid-2oth century.
Walking and hiking paths are offered throughout the park, which showcase large stumps that served as springboards for axe men during the city's pioneer days.
