Alderwood Park

If you want a no-frills spot to eat lunch outside without dealing with a crowd, Alderwood Park fits the bill. It’s a small neighborhood park — the kind that doesn’t show up on anyone’s must-visit list, which is honestly part of the appeal. There are picnic tables and a restroom on site, so you’re covered for the basics. Don’t come expecting a ton of action; this one’s strictly for locals who just want a quiet hour outside.
