Denise F. • February 16, 2016Nice Park to walk, with a museum and large area.

Kate C. • August 25, 2014Amazing views and cool old benches here.

ELS Language Centers • May 28, 2012Public park with a sports field, fountain, playground and lawn

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

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

Van Patten V. • March 3, 2012This is a nice place to hang out at

Mary S. • November 9, 2015Gorgeous fall walk

Brook H. • February 13, 2014Beautiful any time of the year. Limited parking, so park on 10th Ave E. near the Blaine Street stairs and walk down into the gardens. The Streissguths are amazing and (obviously) very hard workers!

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

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

Mary S. • August 23, 2014So many varieties of all colors

Mary S. • March 20, 2016Beautiful in the spring. Playground.

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

James W. • December 17, 2010Check out the view here at different times and in different weather. The play of light on the black hole sun and the Asian Art Museum is magical.

Anisa G. • August 27, 2011One of my fav places to people watch on sunny days... parking isn't easy and it does get crowded. You're likely to overhear a few stories from the previous night's outings.

Kelly S. • May 4, 2012Old metal slides, wooden bridge, big bone-like climbing sculpture, ...playground getting remodeled in 2012.

Katy I. • May 22, 2013Wear your knee high rain boots for this one. The name speaks the truth. I slipped off the muddy path and thigh deep into the marsh. It was funny...but also wet, cold and muddy. Otherwise a hidden jem!

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.

Mary S. • January 31, 2016Very nice view of both mountain ranges

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.

Graham K. • October 6, 2012The zip line is both fun & popular!

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

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!
