Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the walk along the water. However the amazing photos posted here isn’t quite what we saw. The scenery is amazing but the park itself seemed to have been let go. Some of the sights were closed off and covered in graffiti. People were sleeping in the park and only restrooms we found were closed and replaced with porta potty’s. Those were disgusting and had not been cleaned probably all summer. It was obvious people had gone to the bathroom on the floors even. And feces was all over. It was probably a beautiful park at one time but it’s been let go.

Very walkable thin stretch of green with paved path for multi-use, along the Sound.Connects to parks towards Seattle downtown.Cooler on a hot day.

We are in Seattle frequently and I always take at least one afternoon or morning stroll starting out at the Seattle Art Museum Sculpture Park, zig and zag over the railroad tracks, descend on the path, and head north on the trail into Centennial Park. Sometimes you can see an eagle in the trees just north of the Love and Loss sculpture. This is a walk well worth doing whether you stop and turn around at the grain elevator (ship from Singapore is there today) or keep on going to the Expedia Headquarters--your travel expenses at work. Nice building--I wonder how the pay is there. Does anybody know? Anyway, the trail keeps going. If you start in Belltown, proceed down to the Expedia Headquarters (still on the water), and return, that's about three miles. Have a good walk!

This was a surprisingly good experience. It was clean, interesting, and had much niftier information than I expected. The grain loader, salmon nets, and view of the Bay were all just so nice. Absolutely recommended.

Centennial Park is a continuation of the lovely walking and cycling trail through Myrtle Edwards Park. It continues along the shore, thru green trees, grass, flowers and more. It is a wonderful place to get out and walk, and walk, and walk. The are separate well-maintained paths for the cyclists, which is great. And it's FREE.We've walked the path from the Sculpture Park thru Myrtle Edwards and Centennial on several occasions already and never tire of its beauty. And there are plenty of benches you can sit and rest on, or sit and watch the water. It never seems crowded, yet always seems to have people around so you always feel safe.
