It is a hill to walk up unless you take the #1 or 2 bus, but it's got one great view. If you don't get to see it, just pick up a Seattle postcard and you can pretend you saw it :)

This is the view you want to see of Seattle. It's more of a view then a "park " it's in the queen Ann section of seattle, the walk to the park is a steep hill, the drive is a little easier if you can find a parking spot,,

We ran along the waterfront path from Pikes Place Market (about 2 miles) to Kerry Park. It was easy to navigate. The last 400 meters is pretty steep, but the view when you get to the top is beautiful! A must do while you're in Seattle. The #2 bus will also take you from the city to the park if... More

The drive up to the Kerry Park is quite daunting, but it is worth the trip. There is free parking on neighboring streets, and the park itself is easy to find. Once there, you get a gorgeous view of the downtown skyline and the waterfront. A MUST see if you are visiting Seattle!

Excellent photo ops for free and it's walkable, or take the bus, from downtown, the Seattle Center, or Queen Anne.

We drove up here about noon Wednesday, May 8. No problem parking right at the park which is actually a viewpoint with several benches, not a park with lots of open space. We had a superb view of the space needle and downtown skyline, but not Mount Rainier which is probably only visible on a clear sunny day. The "parklet"... More

But the views are fantastic on the right day. I think park is overstating it, micro-park probably a better terminology. But if your in Seattle, have a rental car, and good weather day...GO! you will not be dissapointed.

Went up there as one of the first things we did when staying in Seattle. Was a good starting point, altough it seems a bit far from the city centre. Good place to take a photo.

This is a nice small park in southern (i think) Seattle with very good views of downtown Seattle and the surrounding bay. Parking can be very tough on the weekends but browse the nearby streets and you can most likely find a spot. Great lookout!
