"If you don't see the book on the shelf, write it." ~ Beverly Cleary
We tried out Log Boom Park in Kenmore this weekend. Basically, the park is a little area next to the Burke Gilman Trail that runs through Kenmore.
At first we thought this would be a perfect walk along the water with Sydney, but that wasn’t the case. The Burke Gilman is very popular with cyclists, so we spent most of our time pulling Sydney out of the way of an oncoming bike. At one point she almost got ran over by a children’s pull behind cart.
Don’t get me wrong. This is a great trail to explore. Even better if you have a bike. However, if you’re looking for a nice quiet place to take your dog for a walk I wouldn’t advise it. It’s way too high traffic and there are plenty of better places in the area.
