S. ZornJanuary 28, 2015One of my favorite parks in Seattle. Beautiful panoramic views of the city from the tower. Located by the reservoir, greenhouse, and museum. Nicely maintained and lots of activities.
James OttSeptember 26, 2016Don't miss Shakespeare in the park!! Wonderful place to just relax and enjoy. Be sure to see the Asian museum and the arboretum.
MollieJune 14, 2017Good place for a sunny picnic and tennis courts. Walking distance to cafes, bars, and shops as well.
ドーラSeptember 30, 2011This park is home to one of Seattle's best views, a historic water tower, a conservatory built in 1912, and Seattle Asian Art Museum.
KristenelleJune 4, 2017One of Seattle's best parks, right in Capitol Hill. While you're there, visit the Seattle Asian Art Museum or the Conservatory.
JordynJune 18, 2017Beautiful park in the middle of the city. Visit the conservatory for beautiful plants, and climb the watertower for the best view.
Love this park, totally recommend climbing the water tower for a 360 view of the mountains and Seattle- Throw like a GRLJanuary 23, 2017You can see the entire park at the top of the observatory! Also pretty flower conservatory you can walk through.
- 10/10 go to the black hole sun, whether you’re a local or not. The view of the space needle is amazing
Don't believe what others may have told you.. You CAN'T watch 4th of July fireworks from the donut statue at the park. The fireworks don't really clear the trees. You CAN however see a lovely sunset.- ᴡ SantosAugust 30, 2015The reservoir is good for hanging out and picnics. The water tower offers a great view.
Sam GrJuly 31, 2014Climb to the top of the tower on a clear day. Or run up and down the stairs several times for a good workout.
Daniel PlemmonsSeptember 1, 2017The walk up to the top of the tower is worth it. The tight staircase is super cool.
VivianSeptember 9, 2016The tree lined paths are very comforting. Lots of joggers, if you're looking for motivation :)- Josephine J Wiggins Wiggins4 days agoOne of my best fun club Park and Playground in Seattle. Wonderful place to just relax and enjoy..
Duane BrownNovember 13, 2015A must walk park in Seattle. Great views of Space needle from Water tower.
Kristen/KIKI HollandNovember 29, 2013Don't go when the weather is predicting a beautiful sunny day!! Always go when the Weatherman says it's going to rain ! Lo
Stephen ElliottApril 14, 2014If the weather's nice, expect tattooed shirtless guys balancing on slack lines behind the museum.- AkvileMarch 28, 2011Feel the burn in your legs as you climb the historic water tower and be rewarded with a beautiful 360 view of Seattle!
Great place for a walk or if you wanna right in your journal!
Andreas KleinerMay 13, 2016Get your blankets out, bring some box wine or beer and don't forget your grill.
Go there on a sunny day and enjoy the Sun, trees and green grass :)
Caitlyn StarkAugust 25, 2011Enjoy the strange juxtaposition of life (kids playing at the playground) and death (the cemetery right through the chain link fence).
Katy BApril 1, 2010If you run your dog there and forget his water bottle, handy tip: check the south border, near prospect and 11th. There youll find a building's outdoor hose which is handily(!) unlocked
Asian Art Museum & The Volunteer Park Conservatory are closed on Mondays
check out the wooden sculpted owl sitting in the tree just to the south side of the fish pond near the black doughnut!- travis jhakeOctober 10, 2013Other scenarios show that the threshold will be reached later this century. Read more
Jennifer LymanSeptember 17, 2009walk around the neighborhoods surrounding the park, especially in spring. great houses and gardens
Go find the carniverous plants in the conservatory, and then soothe your frightened spirit by looking at the orchids.
