Press release:

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.

Click here for information about the park’s history and how the Mathisons came to donate their family acreage to the City of Burien.

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.
