Pelly Place Natural Area

Pelly Place Natural Area is a small, secluded green space located in West Seattle, Washington. Spanning 1.0 acre, this natural area offers visitors a brief respite from urban life with its forested landscape.

The park's main feature is a short, accessible trail that winds through the center of a gentle ravine. This trail provides a unique opportunity for visitors to experience a slice of nature within the city limits. The area is particularly appealing during autumn when the leaves of the numerous deciduous trees begin to change color, creating a picturesque scene.

Pelly Place Natural Area is nestled within a residential neighborhood off Murray Ave. S.W. This location makes it a convenient spot for local residents to enjoy a quick nature walk or a moment of tranquility. The park is open daily from 4 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., allowing for early morning or evening visits.

For dog owners, Pelly Place Natural Area offers an alternative to more crowded parks, providing a quiet environment for walks. However, visitors should note that this is primarily a natural area, focused on preserving the local ecosystem rather than providing extensive recreational facilities.
