Reviews

  • Karen McGinty

Best little park in Seattle! It's VERY tiny: Just a little patch carved out at an intersection. But there are never homeless encampments here, never garbage lying around, and it's always very well-kept. The buildings and street around it are pleasant looking, and it's relatively quiet and peaceful--no freeway noise or anything.

  • Aaron AARON

No homeless camps. So pretty cool. I, ve been homeless, not a hater here. Just being real most of em are not very tidy/clean, truth hurts.. Parks is clean. +Water fountain, and those B. B. Q GRILLS thingies freaking ROCK I.M.O. ciao4now

Scene of a brutal attack on a 60-year-old woman by a man. She went to hospital in critical condition. ANOTHER man was found with bloody injuries in a bush at the same time. Not a pretty scene as of late.

  • Orlin Henderson

Nice little park with picnic tables and park benches and some greenery. Good for an outdoor lunch, a smoke break, or walking your dog by! In the heart of first hill. Stays busy, but still a quiet park.

  • Gabriel Andrés Cáceres

It wasn't crowded, so that's a plus. Fairly small park, under the shade of nearby buildings and plenty of banks to go sit and just rest from the blazing sun of the summer.

  • S

Sometimes lovely and clean, sometimes with more trash and lots of cigarette smoke. Recently added tables and chairs, updated plants. There is plenty of shade!

  • Carl Nation

Remodeled in 2020, first hill park is now a nice place to spend time. They have barbecue grills and tables, as well as places to charge your phone or laptop.

  • Samuel Sperry

This is a nice park for sitting in. Gets a decent breeze. Has three benches for sitting in the grass area. Has at least two or three tables for eating at.

  • Brandon H

This is a wonderful neighborhood park for a peaceful escape. There are even multiple BBQ grills and tables to picnic on. Very blessed to have this park.

  • Gabrielle R.

Great place, close to my apartment, to read outside. The next closest park is probably Cal Anderson and this is by far the quieter option.

  • Jackie Sheahart (Senior)

Watching boat traffic and the waves they produce are awesome from here! If some of the rowers are training, wicked fast!

  • Maria Jouravleva

Great for dogs and people. Occasionally has questionable characters, but its mostly safe and very well maintained.

  • Bradley Elliott

Good relaxing park. Definitely not a hiking park, or a playing park. Perfect for taking a bit to relax though.

  • Kim Donovan

Beautiful little park. Has a nice garden feel. Picnic tables and 2 grills. The best is the little sculptures.

  • Bret

Nice little park! Beware though of dogs off leash I was charged by 2 dogs walking my bike through the park.

  • Farrel Oglesby

Park has had a makeover, it is nice, neighborhood setting. No campers, bbq grills, water fountain and art

Great lil green grass and tree park. Few tables chairs and benches. Not a bad place to sit a read a book

  • Robert Pitcher

Not much to review but alright enough a long as you are tolerant of people challenged regarding a home.

This Park is safe. A lovely place to stop. Set amidst condos and fine pre war architecture.

Small park. I go walking near here pretty often and like seeing the little bear statues.

As of January 27 2021 the beautifully-renovated park is open. Get out there and use it!
