Where else can kids climb on the remains of a 1906 gasification plant while parents watch the sunset over Lake Union? Only at Gas Works Park.
This beloved Seattle park on the north shore of Lake Union transformed an old industrial site into one of the city’s most creative public spaces, with grassy hills, kite-flying lawns and unbeatable views of the downtown skyline across the water.
A favorite for families, kite flyers and photographers. Tip: it’s one of the best sunset spots in the city — arrive an hour before dusk, bring a kite (or buy one nearby) and enjoy one of the most unusual parks in America.
