  • "One of the clean and best parks in the city by Elliott Bay"

    "A great place to enjoy, relax, a long walk, and for cycling, running, playing, jogging and others"

    "Short but very scenic park by the water front with some iconic views over bay especially sunset or sunrise"

    "It’s like one park after another and it goes on and on and on and on I love it I ride my board on the trail with my wife and 13 year olds daughter I go fast to so it’s a good trail with sweet smooth pavement so if your looking for grass or beach or paths to walk or a bike path or views of the city and of the Olympics and mount Rainer like this is lucky it didn’t get turned into housing for rich people! Thanks to the city and state and whoever did it!"

    "Absolutely lovely park for a walk by the water with an epic view of Rainier on one side and mountains on the other side"

One of the clean and best parks in the city by Elliott Bay. This waterfront park is a true gem, offering breathtaking views that elevate the outdoor experience. The park's accessibility ♿️for everyone, including well-maintained pathways and ramps, makes it a welcoming destination for all. The inclusion of a dedicated biking lane enhances the recreational options, providing a scenic route for cyclists and scooterists. The water views of the bay and Mt.Rainier views adds an extra layer of tranquility, creating a serene atmosphere away from the bustle of the city. The expansive green spaces offer a perfect setting for picnics, leisurely strolls, or simply enjoying the picturesque surroundings. There’s a small rose garden too exhibiting multiple varieties of blooms. Even though the park can get busy during peak times, the well-planned layout ensures that it doesn't feel overcrowded. I go here solo, with friends and family all the time and never felt too crowded. Overall, this waterfront park stands out as a fantastic spot for us, seamlessly blending accessibility, stunning views, and outdoor activities. Must recommend for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful escape by the water.

A great place to enjoy, relax, a long walk, and for cycling, running, playing, jogging and others. You can have a spectacular view of the Elliott Bay waterfront, the cruises, container ships, yatch, boat and the beach. One of the perfect spots to have picnic . One of the best place to witness sunset. A lot of benches here and there to sit , relax, and enjoy. There's a beautiful small rose garden extended beyond the park. it is connected to the long Elliott Bay trail that extends far beyond . On the way of the trails, there are various artifacts to see, then there's a Salmon Net area. You can sometimes get to see the terminal loading the grains to the ship or cruise Ship docked.

  • Raf K

Short but very scenic park by the water front with some iconic views over bay especially sunset or sunrise. It’s ideal for a walk , jog or bike ride, single or couple or with family or friends. For most part it has separate walk/run from biking paths. Just right in the beginning there is small rose garden, a few tree sculptures along the way. There is a tiny beach area and a few benches you can sit and relax enjoying the views. Overall entire park is not even a mile long but is nice and refreshing oasis in the city.

It’s like one park after another and it goes on and on and on and on I love it I ride my board on the trail with my wife and 13 year olds daughter I go fast to so it’s a good trail with sweet smooth pavement so if your looking for grass or beach or paths to walk or a bike path or views of the city and of the Olympics and mount Rainer like this is lucky it didn’t get turned into housing for rich people! Thanks to the city and state and whoever did it!

  • Girish Kumar

Absolutely lovely park for a walk by the water with an epic view of Rainier on one side and mountains on the other side. This has trails that are dog and bike friendly. There are benches along the trail to sit and soak the beauty of the surrondings. There is a beach on the trail if you would like to get into water. Probably a nice place to swim as well. It's a great sunset spot. One of the best places for an evening stroll to watch a sunset.

  • Mel D.

This is a lovely waterfront path and park. It's simple, yet the greenery and water are calming. It's between the railroad track and Elliott Bay. You can easily access the Olympic Sculpture Park, which is between Centennial Park and Belltown. There are a couple beach access points to the bay. The trail is fairly flat and is paved. It's made for foot and bike traffic, and should be suitable for mobility aids (though I haven't confirmed it).

  • David L Long

This is a great park, and it’s a place not a lot of people seem to visit enough. Being born and raised in Washington. I luv the fact that when I visit a place, I find new and exciting experiences and amazing views. I will be going back more in the summer of 2019, because this is a place you want to go for the natural beauty. If you’re visiting for the first time, or like me been here all your life. This park is Great

  • Monica Banavase Somashekara

Beautiful park by water, giving good view of the mountains around Seattle and islands. Park is part of big stretch of parks. It’s good for walking, jogging, dog or strolling around. It’s good to take someone visit Seattle. It’s peaceful.
Dog-friendliness
It’s a dog friendly park but remember to clean after.
Picnic area
Tables are present but no bbq.

  • Tyler Freed

I highly recommend taking a walk from the Olympic Sculpture Park down to Elliott Bay Trail and following it North through Myrtle Edwards Park and then Centennial Park. Beautiful views and a great escape from the city right at the water's edge. Typically a pretty quiet area as many people think of Alki when planning to go for a walk along the water's edge.

  • Ulises Cuevas

Very nice park to take a long walk alongside the water front. This is one of my favorites tracks in the city to either grab a coffee and take a walk or go jogging with my dog. It is kept pretty clean and maintained well, you can expect it to be a nice walk. Watching the sunset from there is quite a view to take in. I would highly recommend it.

  • Gurupad S. Hegde

This park has some great waterfront views throughout the year. I am not sure why this is not a place famous as much as pike place or Kerry park. It has access to water (too cold to step). If you are lucky, you might even see some orcas. There are rabbits and lot of birds. If you are walking a dog, please be aware of these.

  • arjun parameswaran

Excellent place to walk/jog/bike on a sunny day. The trail runs along the water, with a breathtaking view of Mount Rainier on a clear day. As you reach closer to the Olympic sculpture park, you start seeing the space needle as well. Great place to bring your dogs and kids, to walk,play or just sit and admire the view.

  • Brian Capell

Great waterfront park with wonderful views and separate walk and bike paths.
Playground
No playground.
Restrooms
Public restrooms available, though I've never braved them.
Dog-friendliness
Tons of friendly dogs, mostly on leashes.
Picnic area
Excellent picnic spot for a sunset date.

  • Chris Smith

I went here during Hemp Fest 2019. They held it at Centennial Park. The park is beautiful and the view of the Puget Sound is amazing. The park was clean and free of debris, for the most part, an there was a lot of people there. Good place to sit an relax or go for a walk along the water.

  • MM

Very pleasant walk. Nice people. Not too much Seattle freeze, just the expected about. Grounds were clean and maintenance was keeping up the bathrooms. And the needle disposal was kept up since that's a inner city thing is nice to see that accessible for people recovering.

  • Prudence Lahti

Nice place to walk, run, or bike along the water. Also a good place to take a break from the city. It's a relaxing location to go for a walk if you are in the area, but not a true destination. A few homeless here and there, but not as bad as other areas of Seattle

  • Brett

Lovely Park. Great for sunsets, fishing, photography, can even watch train traffic or ride your bike thru the trail. Lately though been very crowded and hard to manuver your way on a bike; bottleneck area will bring you to a complete stop so be aware.

  • Erica Ingram

I don't think there is a playground or restrooms here, but the view is great, it is well-maintained, and there are separate paths for both bikes and pedestrians. Very nice spot to get out to. There are picnic tables towards the north end of the park.

  • Ryan Mould

One of my favorite Seattle parks on a sunny day. Best views of the bay, mountain, ships, and the dog loves splashing in the water.
Restrooms
Never used them but they’re there.
Dog-friendliness
Dog Water station along the way.

  • Savannah Hollis

Constantly amazed by how gorgeous this city is! The Elliott Bay Trail runs through this park and is one of my favorite areas in the city. Nothing beats the views of the olympics (and Rainier) when the sun is out and the colors are vibrant.

  • jackie d

Nice open space right near the water. In the summer, on Thursday evenings, bring some snacks and a drink, sit on one of the benches or picnic tables, and watch the sailboats go by. Lots of people walking the trail, lots of dogs too.

  • Jake G

An absolutely beloved park. Large and accommodating, it has beaches and shore access. Bike and walking paths. Stellar views of the Puget Sound, the city, Space Needle and of course, Mt. Rainier. I come here for sunset very often.

  • swetha k

My favorite place to walk or bike. Can spend the day playing or picnicking. Stunning view of puget sound and also views of Mt rainier on a clear day. The bike trail is very well maintained and a separate trail for pedestrians

  • Yuliya Davis

A nice path for a leisurely stroll (or a not-so-leisurely run or bike ride) by the water; wild and cultivated roses; serene view of the waves - what could be better? Only meeting a couple of furry friends along the way!

  • Geo Min

Really pretty park, loved the logs, looked natural like Olympic, sunset and mtns of Olympic were superb, amazing weather as well and peaceful! Ate dinner here on the water and it was great, love Seattle, would recommend

  • Balaji Krishnamurty

This park offers bike and jog trails. Cool place to hang out with nature. Awesome location - proximity to downtown Seattle. Good view of the Puget Sound. Bainbridge Island and ferries going towards it are visible.

  • Jim Arnold

A green strip of good biking and walking paths along Elliott Bay. The rose garden was in full bloom including dalias. Many benches and green areas. A respite of green and blue in the city. Can be noisy - train.

This a beautiful park on the puget sound for walking, running, cycling, or just hang out. Beautiful views of the sound, west west Seattle, and the nearby island of Bainbridge.

Lovely park to just sit and write in. Picnic tables under the trees are kinda worn out but sit in a beautiful spot. Beware hidden sprinklers closer to the tracks, however!

Like to walk the park at sunset. I like salt water swimming, and there are 2 beaches perfect to get in and out. Only beach on Eastside of Elliott Bay

A beautiful, clean trail along the waterfront. The bridge to the water is located on Thomas street and is about a 5 minute walk from Seattle Center.

I really like this park because it’s so close to the city, yet you can pretend you’re far from it if you stare out into the water.
