The awesome zipline has been replaced with an adequate zipline. :(

Great neighborhood park. We love taking our daughter here to play on the playground. Pretty popular spot but never over crowded.

Great playground, lots of space. Picnic tables. If the empty condom and nitrous canisters are any indication, maybe dont go alone at night.

One of Seattles little pocket parks along a stay healthy street. There is enough space to have a picnic and stay distanced from others

I started renting a home across the street from the park in 1979. My sister bought it and the families that play at the park are as timeless as they were in the 70s. The equipment is nice and theres always a friendly neighbor to chat with. I love this park.

What a nice lil hidden gem of a park! The actual playground looks outdated but its definitely bike friendly, and plenty of hills and shade.

This is an awesome park. They have this built in digger thing in the sand pit. My friends son feel in love with it, to the point that leaving was difficult. As a full grown adult I enjoy the swings and zip line (when but being used by kids). The trees are beautiful, just a nice space.Bathrooms are only open in spring/summer I believe.The only thing that could make the park better is if it were bigger.

Had a lovely time singing carols at the park! I wasnt there during the day, so I couldnt tell what the park really is like, but there were a lot of beautiful trees and a nice walking path.

Too bad kids cant play right now. Its nice and has a toilet

This is my favorite park in Ballard. Some of that is nostalgic (the 80s high school comedy Plain Clothes had some scenes shot here), but its also just a very aesthetically pleasing park, despite its relatively small size (compared to, say, Discovery Park). There are times when the sunlight comes through the trees on the south side, especially at sunset, if youre on the swingset, facing into it... its definitely in that Frederick Olmstead tradition. Plus, its got a wicked-cool zipline!

Its nice there are always tons of little children all over it between 3-5 on weekdays so if you want to go there to hangout dont go then. Also there are tons of druggies out in the fields and by the benches so stay away from those.

Great park for little kids. I walk my dogs through this park often, just beware high school kids getting high and selling each other drugs here.

This is a nice little neighborhood park. Theres a playground with swings, merry-go-round, a zip-line, & Tonka trucks to play with in the sandbox. There are a couple of picnic tables. There is a bathroom that is open during the Summer months. Lots of room to walk a dog with several garbage bins. Several large trees offer shade, relief from the rain & flocks of song birds, plus some squirrels for your dog to bark at. If you dont live within walking distance, there is street parking all around the park.

This is a beautiful park, with lots of grass and tall, old trees. It has a childrens play area, sandbox, and swings. Several collections of picnic tables. On street parking.

The swings go exceptionally high here. Id recommend it for anyone who likes swings. Otherwise its pretty cool. Theres a public bathroom just up the small hill if needed.

This is a great neighborhood park. It fills up a whole city block and has a little something for a wide variety of visitors. Theres a pretty sizable playground in the southeast corner with an actual swingset and carousel. The rest of the park is full of grass and large trees, nice for walking through, sitting down, or having a picnic. Theres also a bathroom, but it might not be open all year.

A school park with a playground and half-field fit soccer or other sports. The field seems busy with families playing and organized activities. The field is surrounded by a track for running or the occasional kid biking.
