Enrique G. • April 15, 2017Come for a hike or bike, along with picnic stuff to enjoy an amazing view

Mary S. • November 9, 2015Gorgeous fall walk

Sarah S. • February 21, 2014If course it's awesome on a hot summer day but it's calm and peaceful when it's overcast too

joshua l. • July 24, 2011Excellent workout space... Jog up and down these. Cheaper than a gym.

Irene M. • September 6, 2012Fabulous park. There are many places to enjoy a picnic. There are outdoor sculptures, flower gardens, and this wonderful Conservatory.

Katy I. • September 11, 2013They have a few grills, picnic tables, and plenty of grass to lounge or throw a frisbee. Great spot for a BBQ if you live in the area.

DenMom & MoMo W. • October 25, 2012These swings are awesome! As a grown up, you can pretty much swing high enough to kick the trees, or launch into the lake. Or not.

Breezy M. • September 13, 2011One of the best complete views of the city

Peiyu L. • August 12, 2013Small, cute and well maintained. Koi fish is a surprise.

Crawdaddy • September 16, 2012This is one of the best places to watch the sunset in my opinion. You don't have a good view of the city however the view over Queen Anne and the Olympic Mountain peaks and ridges are incredible.

Ethan Z. • May 30, 2012Take your kid when it's a little rainy & beat the crowds!

Peter F. • October 1, 2018This park was the inspiration for the song Holly Jolly Christmas.

Jack R. • June 26, 2015Might be the best beach in the city!

Julia T. • June 9, 2012Site of the giant neighborhood garage sale in June!

Cathy H. • March 31, 2013Go when not had rain for few days!

Maria N. • July 19, 2016Play here once a week for a soft pitch game. Fields are well kept and people don't mind having dogs here

Gary W. • May 31, 2015The swings here are really low. Good for toddlers to learn

Mary L. • August 28, 2013The dahlias bloom in late August and September.

MNZ .. • October 17, 2016The staff is the best! It is a wine bar but bartenders can prepare some amazing exquisite cocktails as well. Totally recommended...

Stephany G. • January 6, 2012A lot of dogs pee here, on a hot summer day it is NOT a great idea to lay out in the sun!

James W. • January 16, 2014Though it lacks the shoreline access its sister park to the south has, this park is a much less crowded alternative that still offers relaxing grass and fantastic views of Lake Washington.
