This is a very cool park! It has beautiful views that look over downtown Seattle with ample green space to sit and enjoy the area.This was a former Seattle Gaslight company and the antique compressors are huge and very interesting.There was a nice playground that had a lot of kids playing.Just watch out for the goose poop!

Gas Works Park was one of my favorite places in Seattle. The weather was beautiful, and the view was absolutely relaxing. Watching the boats sailing across the lake was peaceful and uplifting, making it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the moment.The park is clean, spacious, and offers amazing views of the Seattle skyline. It’s a great spot to take a walk, sit on the grass, or simply enjoy the scenery. I would definitely visit again on my next trip to Seattle.

A visit to Gas Works Park is a great way to take in some of the best views of Lake Union and the surrounding Seattle neighborhoods. The park is perfect for strolling, running, picnicking, or simply relaxing on the grassy hill, and it’s also a unique spot to host a private event.While you’re there, keep an eye on the water—you’ll likely see the popular Lake Union Hot Tub Boats cruising by, which adds a fun and very “Seattle” vibe to the view. You can also spot the Seattle Police Department Harbor Patrol Unit boats and where they dock nearby.The day we visited, a group of young Girls were filming a TikTok dance video, which added to the lively energy of the park. Before or after your visit, make sure to stop by and see the nearby Fremont Troll to round out the experience.

Gas Works is really cool and different at night. The views down to Seattle are stunning as you look over lake Union. Great for concerts.

This huge 21-acre Urban Park was once the site of the former Seattle Gas Light Company Gasification Plant. The remnants of the factory are still visible. Some of the massive pieces of the old plant have been incorporated into the landscape, while others have been reconditioned and re-painted in a variety of colors to become a Children’s playground in a “Play Barn”.Soon after we walked in, we climbed an artificial hill where we saw a sculpted Sundial built into the summit. It was cool. Then we descended and walked along pathways surrounded by very green grass inhabited by sunbathing people and tons of Geese strutting around. We had to be very careful where we were stepping --LOL…! Bicyclists and Skateboarders were allowed as long as they did not interfere with the pedestrians. This was also the area from where we got some drop-dead gorgeous views of the Space Needle and the City.Right below was Lake Union. It looked clear and accessible, but it is known to contain hazardous substances. Therefore, swimming, wading and fishing are forbidden. Our favorite part was watching the Sea Planes take off and land in the water.Locals come here for weekend events, for picnicking or to fly kites because it gets quite windy here.We saw this Park when it was featured in two of the Episodes of the Reality Show “The Amazing Race”. Ever since, we have wanted to see it in person. A wonderful sunny day made our walk very enjoyable, and the history and the views made it worth our time spent here.
