we saw something going on and went in to look around. this is a delightful, large, well laid out park.....they have space for every type of event and plenty of benches......a festival was going on the day we were there and it was so pleasant to see so many people enjoying themselves yet not feeling crowded!

A must visit, lots to do, see and experince from the space needle , EMP, IMAX cinema and the science park.

though I only have waded in the water, it is a great place on a hot summers day. there are also beautiful trails through heavily forested areas of the parks and a few open meadows high on the coastline with great views.
Don't miss it! REALLY! Truly incredible and in the middle of a metropolitan city.....quite a Mira Leo,
