The park itself is quite nice. Lots of tall, shady trees full of song birds. It's especially beautiful in the spring when the leaves turn a dark, lush shade of green and flowers are blooming. Parts of it feels almost other worldly, as if you're alone and deep inside a hidden forest.The problem is it's local inhabitants. All around the park in far corners are homeless encampments. At times, they become visible by pushing a shopping cart across the trail or leaving behind their trash. Some nearby residents routinely walk their dog and do not pick up their dog's wastes, so you have to constantly be aware of what you might step on. The parking lot section usually contain people idle in their cars, doing drugs or eating fast food. However, on most non-rainy days the park is quite nice. Just make sure you don't go it alone.

They've barricaded the parking lot off, and the only available parking is for Lakewood Community Center, who I just got off the phone with, where they told me that it's fine to use their parking lot for Seeley Lake Park.
The park itself isn't bad, it's a nice walk around a swamp. There are some interesting graffiti spots, if you're into that, and the path goes right along the backs of some apartments, and you also get to see the undersides of some buildings.

Felt extremely uncomfortable half way into my walk. I understand it's a city park seeing some trash here and there. But then you're walking along trash filled shopping carts and tents. I had to turn around and stop the walk quick. This park needs a huge clean up overhaul or turn it into something else. Grossss!!
