Seattle's skyline is best viewed from my favorite park. While there may not be a plethora of activities to partake in, it's an ideal spot to take in the cityscape. Parking is gratis, but it can be challenging to secure a spot during peak hours. This locale is perfect for picnicking, as many folks can be seen doing so. Also a good spot to get a book and hang out for a bit. The park is quite safe. I wholeheartedly suggest taking a trip to this park to take in the breathtaking skyline.

Nice park to go check out the Seattle views or just get out and get a walk. If you go on a rainy weekday there shouldn’t be many people. Nice parking lot.

TLDR: great views of Seattle! Come for the views of the old gas works area and the views of the Seattle skyline. We came on a light drizzly day and honestly there was no one here. There is parking lot right in front and outside as well so plenty of spaces to park. A handful of people biking and walking their dog but ppretty empty

Beautiful and fun park that offers a grand view of Lake Union and Downtown Seattle in the distance. The views are superb on a sunny day but can get a bit gloomy when it rains. There are a few short walking trails and a small hill. Old oil tanks and pipes are now giant steel sculptures on a green space that remind us of the industrial history and hopefully also stand as signs that we'll keep transitioning into green energy. It's a shame that right now the park looks a little rundown and sometimes you'll see homeless people roaming around especially in the early morning.

Such a great and unique place for the sunsets and picnic with your beloved ones. Would be perfect for the summer time. Moreover, this place is popular for flying kites 🪁 You can come here with the dogs. It is a postindustrial landscape that was transformed into a public place. It is safe at the moment.

Nice place to hang around and the views of the Seattle skyline is amazing and unobstructed. One of the less touristy spots of Seattle. With all the abandoned industrial structures it’s pretty cool and you can take plenty of pics and selfies here. Lots of room to explore and run around. There is a beach here with views of the lake and skyline. The playground here will keep the little kids entertained. One of the most unique public parks I been too. If you’re going to Seattle make sure you add this place on the itinerary!

I cannot think of another park like Gas Works anywhere else. The one-of-a-kind Park combines traditional features like trees, grass, picnic tables with grassy knolls, amazing urban views across Lake Union, and the sci-fi looking remains of a once large gas power generation plant. Even the children's playground has unique devices to climb on. Covered areas and restrooms complete the eclectic Park. I chose to visit early in the day when the main parking lot had but a few cars. Things get busy later in the day and good luck finding a spot for your wheels.

An amazing place in Seattle! - Great spot for sitting on the green field and watching the water (Lake Union) and Seattle skyline - Nice vibe on sunny days - Nice place for doing Yoga - Historical gas machines look authentic and interesting - Very convenient for launching your kayak or paddleboard - Usually there is enough of parking especially on weekdays. Weekends can be very busy (and no parking). Feel free to try parallel streets for parking if you can’t find a spot

This is one of my favorite places in Seattle. It's a huge park right on the north side of Lake Union, and a perfect place to just be a peace. Sitting by the water is always relaxing, and if you're lucky, you can watch the seaplanes land and take off from the lake. The old gas works pipes and buildings are still there and very cool to see. I recommend this park if you're looking for a place to relax and listen to the water.

A great park for free visit and you can see the whole downtown Seattle and south lake. There is a small hill in the park and it is a great spot to take pictures! Definitely visit here if you are traveling to Seattle for the first time!

Really great view of Seattle from a nice park, there is a hill you can climb up to get a good view. Parking was free, there weren't a ton of people, but a lot of people eating picnics, bring some food and enjoy the atmosphere. There is also a park for children to play on. Seemed perfectly safe during the daytime for our visit.

A beautiful park but unfortunately there are large barriers all around it as they prepare for an event that takes place July 21st and 22nd. We weren’t able to full enjoy the park but it was still nice to visit. A lot of families as well as people who lived in tents around the park.

This park is located on the north shore of Lake Union. It's a large park with a big hill that's popular for kite flying. Sheltered picnic tables, children's play structures, and very beautiful views of downtown Seattle & some of the Lake Union houseboats. The porta potties are in the parking lot area. An old gasification plant is in this park. Access to Lake Union is restricted as the lake sediment contains hazardous substances.

Very cool park where the equipment are the sculptures. Each piece of equipment being more or less tagged by graffiti in some way, but this has great industrialist vibes that would surely make Ayn Rand blush. With that said, she’d probably cringe at the small homeless encampment inside of the pavilion. Other than that, great views of Seattle's skyline and a stunning place to visit on a clear day!

I came in at night, and this place had an outstanding and gorgeous view of Seattle city, including the Space Needle and the downtown. I highly recommend visiting for those who want to enjoy a chilling and relaxing time.

Perfect place for picnics and get togethers. You can get your own tents, chairs etc and set up a nice barbecue. The lake is beautiful, you can even rent a boat if you like. Alcohol consumption is illegal, although I've seen people drink but discreetly. Tip: don't forget to eat a blanket, the park is filled with dried poop.

Nice place to picnic on a sunny day. The view of the Seattle skyline is amazing, especially after the sunset. Its interesting to watch various activities at the lake. The gasworks also has beautiful old era steel structures. If you walk closer to the shore you can watch lot of ducks, egrets and blue herons. I also see lot of rowing team and kayakers practicing by the lake.

Gas Works Park contains remnants of the sole remaining coal gasification plant in the United States. The plant operated from 1906 to 1956 and was bought by the city of Seattle for park purposes in 1962. The park opened to the public in 1975; it was designed by Seattle landscape architect Richard Haag, who won the American Society of Landscape Architects Presidents Award of Design Excellence for the project. The plant's conversion into a park was completed by Daviscourt Construction Company of Seattle. It was originally named Myrtle Edwards Park, after the city councilwoman who had spearheaded the drive to acquire the site, who died in a car crash in 1969. In 1972, the Edwards family requested that her name be removed from that of the park because the design called for the retention of much of the plant. In 1976, Elliott Bay Park (just north of Seattle's Belltown neighborhood) was renamed Myrtle Edwards Park.

It is a good place to see if one visits Seattle. One can go boating, kayaking, and surfing. It is great for kids. You see ducks and geese around. It also has a play area for kids. There are some homeless people around. One should be careful to visit only in daylight hours.

A good amount of parking is available and for 4 hours. Fun park to see the water and views of the city. Sun dial at the top which was fun as well - it's super accurate if you account for daylight savings time. Fun playground as well.

A charming and unique place from which you can watch the view of the sea and Seattle. The park houses old gas production facilities and gives it uniqueness. The park has a small hill from which you can see the view. The park has a small playground and public washrooms. There is free parking.

Washingtonians know how to spend time on a sunny weekend. Everyone seems to be relaxing and enjoying the view of Seattle. This is one of my favorite places for hanging. It’s also perfect place for picnic.

Weird but attractive place. Gas Works Park contains remnants of the sole remaining coal gasification  plant in the United States. The plant operated from 1906 to 1956 and was bought by the city of Seattle for park purposes in 1962. The park opened to the public in 1975. Cool place to bring your kids.

The Seattle skyline from the park is amazing to watch. Also lot of people are sailing in the lake union. The views are good overall. However the park itself is ill maintained. Dog poop is everywhere. You need to watch your steps very carefully. The area seems a little shady too

Really great view of Seattle from a nice park, there is a hill you can climb up to get a good view. Parking was free, there weren't a ton of people, but a lot of people eating picnics, bring some food and enjoy the atmosphere. There is also a park for children to play on. Seemed perfectly safe during the daytime for our visit.

Nice area with good amount of parking and great views of the city and skyline. The view from Kite hill is also very nice. Seems like a really nice date spot. The gasworks structures are pretty cool and started to have greenery growing on it so it’s kind of an interesting vibe of nature and machinery together.

I visited this park at night time! In winter it was a worth watching. Grab a milk shake or hot fudge at the dick’s nearby before you go there it is located in Queen Ave There is two view points one at the lake and other at the Kate hill recommended for visitors to catch excellent glimpse of Seattle skyline and really worth it

On a clear day, there is a fantastic view of downtown Seattle skyline from Gas Works Park.

I've got to give this park two stars just because of the potential of what it could be. There's some really cool architecture, and neat old equipment, but it's impossible to enjoy them because the incredible amount of graffiti all over everything is too distracting. I'm not talking about artistic graffiti, we're talking about ugly mindless tagging. And it's everywhere. Skip this park and go somewhere a little farther out where they don't tolerate this kind of trashy behavior. And they take better care of the place.

An excellent place to spend your evening during summer months. This place provides a panoramic and picturesque view of the lake and downtown Seattle skyline. This place is family and kids friendly, although during weekends finding car parking space can be challenging, however it's worth the effort considering the view you get.

Wonderful place to relax and have a walk. Of course the weather has to be great. I love the different kind of scenery you can see there. The hill top view is fabulous. You can see the different aspects of the city. Would be even better if there is a coffee shop around.

Its a great place to go and unwind. Feed the ducks, watch the action on the river, see the City of Seattle, people watch, and strike up a friendly conversation with those who will. It was very peaceful and enjoyable.

Beautiful views of the Seattle skyline. There's a fun little playground for the kids and lots of seating to keep an eye on them. Great place to enjoy a picnic or a walk and to get away from the busy city.

The park's steep grassy hills offer supreme city and lake views, the skyline of Seattle. You could also have a picnic here😎 Recommend to visit in the after with beautiful sunset。 The park nearby Fremont Troll.

Gas Works Park offers a kid and dog friendly view of Seattle. Mostly circular walking paths and a really cool playground will keep the kids and pets entertained. I enjoyed watching the seaplanes take off and land off the lake. Dogs must be leashed but this is no enforced. It’s also a great place to see industrial ruins. No swimming, boating or wading as the water is not safe so keep your dogs away from the water.

Great view of downtown and it is just as worthwhile to visit on a cloudy day as it is on a sunny day. There are some paved paths around the park with great viewpoints. There are also some unpaved paths but all were well maintained. It seemed very accessible. We had no trouble parking in the attached parking lot. We loved seeing the city from another viewpoint.

Definitely a must-go in Seattle city, especially in a sunny day. I'm so happy to send the last day of 2023 here! It is perfect, it is cool, and it deserves any type of visit: family and kids, friends, lovers ... we will come again in spring and summer

very nice

Too many bird xxx . Nice to take a walk

Beautiful park located on the north edge of Lake Union with beautiful views of Seattle downtown all the way towards Space Needle. The park also has significance as the historic coal gasification plant is also situated in it. It can get quite busy as it is one of the major tourist spots in Seattle

(Translated by Google) It is a good place to take pictures. You can see downtown Seattle. Parking is also very convenient. Recommended must go! (Original) 是一个可以拍照的好地方。可以看到西雅图的市区。停车也非常方便。推荐一定要去！

Beautiful park in Seattle. Go for the views of the Painted Ladies, the Victorian Houses on the one side, stay for the beautiful views and the very serene feeling you get in the park. Lovely on all sides.

Cool spot with amazing views of the city! Lots of space to hangout and sit (next time I'd just bring a blanket.... because...geese).

Amazing place to just chill and hang out. I recently look my family here and my boys loved it. Views on a nice day are spectacular!!!

(Translated by Google) When I climbed the beautifully maintained hill, I was very happy to see the Seattle building! !! (Original) 綺麗に整備された丘を登ったらSeattleのビルも一望できて大満足でした！！

I do have to say the park does have a graffiti problem and there is a homeless community that lives there in tents.

Great place to spend with your family .

I thought this park was super cool! The old gassification plant structures are really interesting. This park features a pretty good view of the skyline and a nice walking path. There's a small playground and lots of space to sit in the grass. It makes for a nice stroll in the morning or at any point during the day.

(Translated by Google) Very good visit! Very quiet park but with nice views of Seattle. Nice stop before Grouse Mountain. (Original) Muy buena visita! Parque muy tranquilo pero con lindas visatas de Seattle. Buena parada antes de Grouse Mountain.

Where I always come when I want to see Seattle.

If you just want to chill with friends or your family, this is a great place. You also get a great view from the park. And it's also a plus to know that it's where they shot the paintball scene from 10 Things I Hate About You.

Interesting way they took an old 19th century gas refinery and turned it into something not only picturesque but usable. I enjoyed the brightly colored piping. And the interesting architecture that was still up. The View on the top of the hill is spectacular and you can see the entire Seattle skyline. There's a large amount of geese, so be careful, geese aren't always the nicest and they leave a lot of excrement around.

Much more than the name promises! Aside from a great view onto Seattle skyline, the have lots of technical interesting pieces; you can walk through old plants and touch the stuff. The park also has some walking trails and a little hill.

An awesome park with a panoramic view of Lake Union. It’s quite popular and can get a bit crowded. Other than that, it’s the perfect place to read, stroll or sunbathe if it’s sunny!

Great view of the skyline of Seattle! I spent a couple of hours at the park with my family last week. My son enjoyed playing on the playground and throwing rocks in the water. I do have to say the park does have a graffiti problem and there is a homeless community that lives there in tents.

This is a great park with gorgeous views of the city. I love the view at night. There’s a few different vantage points, it’s free. Lots of geese so watch your step!

Great park. Amazing views. Easy walking paths and spectacular scenery. I did see used needles in the men's urinal though, so beware.

Absolutely gorgeous park with gorgeous views, can get windy

Beautiful park. It is a must visit if you come to Seattle. I was here during covid for he first time but I still enjoyed this area. Tons of great stuff to do around too. Would recommend coming here

Fun when there are events

Great place . A little dirty and lots of good sites

A perfect park for a picnic. The view of the city here is awesome. Bring a blanket and enjoy!

Beautiful park! Reminded me of the green pastures found in the Shire. I could have spent the whole day exploring and going on different adventures. Highlight: seeing the bison. What a magnificent species! Must come back with Frodo one day!

Best park with view of the city. Great for dates.

Best place to walk around, relax and chill and watch the magnificent view of the place!

Beautiful scenery! Very popular. Tons of people and dogs!

Great park, considering that it is in the middle of the city. Beautiful skyline.

Great place to relax and watch the skyline while boats sail by :) Picture taken by my Nikon DSLR

Neat park.Unique and great views.

Nice industrial artwork

Great views of the city

Best city view in seattle! Very large, a lot of space, and close to the water!

Nice park. Views of Seattle are incredible. Children's play area. Electric Scooters to rent. Lots of structures to see.

Perfect place for a picnic

Great, some campers there too

Cute park with a great view

(Translated by Google) It has a nice view and a really nice place to take pictures. There's nothing particularly around, but it's not bad to go there at least once! (Original) 전망 좋고 사진 찍기 정말 좋은곳이에요 주변에 딱히 뭐가 없지만 한번쯤 가보는거 나쁘지 않아요!

Beautiful spot for photography. Excellent view of downtown Seattle across the water. Climb up kite hill or walk around looking at the rusting tanks of a bygone industrial site.

Nice park with spectacular views . Climb The small hill to get a good view of skyscrapers in the downtown . The old gas plant is a delight to watch .

A great place to spend some time with family, especially kids. There is plenty of space where kids can run, bike, and enjoy the place; I wish it had some shops where you can buy food inside the parc.

Visit Seattle this park should be in your to go list, serene calm waterside sit out. You can picnic , bike or just relax under open sky. Parking is easy to find and best view is Seattle skyline.
