Great spot to watch the sunset over the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. Nice little park great for setting up a picnic blanket. Can be crowded during peak summer hours.
Sunset Hill Park lives up to its name at night, a clear unobstructed view (barring any cloud cover) of sunsets going down over the Olympic mountain range. This park is very narrow running along side the road, doesnt have any bathrooms, and parking can be a pain sometimes since its in a smaller neighborhood. With a few benches, you may be able to find a seat, but I recommend bringing your own chairs if possible just in case.
A hidden gem. We came across this park by accident on the way to the beach to watch the sunset. The beach was overcrowded and had no parking for miles. We turned around, easily found parking, and enjoyed a beautiful view from this park instead. The park is small but it was large enough for everyone who was there to comfortably social distance.
Very beautiful spot to watch the sunset. Although I have to confess that the only time I went there, there was too many people in this place, not keeping social distancing and not wearing masks. In regular times, this wont be an issue. But now you need to be extra careful. This spot is extra busy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Best view of the Olympic Mountains!!! Great sunset spot with a wide range view of the Puget Sound!!
Wonderful views over the Sound to the Olympics. Limited street parking, and really popular picnic site, particularly since COVID. No facilities.
It has a timeless view of Puget Sound, you can see clear over to the other side. On a good day a nice breeze blows up from the beach. The area is quiet and not a lot of people around.
Beautiful little pocket park with views of the Olympic mountain range, picnic tables, a grassy lawn, ample street parking, and unique memorials and interpretive signs.
This Park has a Fantastic view of the Olympic Peninsula, and the Sunsets are awesome.
Wish the graffiti would be removed. Uglies up a cool park
We love going to Sunset Hill Park. Evenings especially to watch the sun set and eat a bite of a picnic dinner or just sit and talk.
Perfect place to bring a picnic and watch a gorgeous sunset. It is a little crowded so get there early to claim your space.
Great views. Perfect for a evening walk.
This is one of my favorite views in Seattle and it has great accessibility.
It feels too small to be called a Park. Great view of the Sound, not very big but plenty of parking.
Beautiful overlook with great views of the Olympics and the sound.
Bring me the sunset in a cup,Reckon the mornings flagons upAnd say how many Dew,Tell me how far the morning leaps—Tell me what time the weaver sleepsWho spun the breadth of blue!Write me how many notes there beIn the new Robins ecstasyAmong astonished boughs—How many trips the Tortoise makes—How many cups the Bee partakes,The Debauchee of Dews!Also, who laid the Rainbows piers,Also, who leads the docile spheresBy withes of supple blue?Whose fingers string the stalactite—Who counts the wampum of the nightTo see that none is due?Who built this little Alban HouseAnd shut the windows down so closeMy spirit cannot see?Wholl let me out some gala dayWith implements to fly away,Passing Pomposity?-Emily Dickinson
Perfect spot to social distance and enjoy the sunset with friends.
Great spot to catch the sunset!
Really great vista, and Mother Earth looked spectacular in the setting Sun.
Best spot in the neighborhood to watch the sunset!
It is a small neigjborhood park that has beautiful views. It can get crowded.
I took some really bad photos of the comet. Pretty nice park!
Simply amazing. What a neighborhood resource.
Excellent place to ... watch the sun set. Walkable from most Ballard locations. Makes a good final vista.
Wonderful views, enough space for social distancing
Beautiful and serene park.
Today was a beautiful day to visit this park. There are paved sidewalks to walk along with great views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains. Nice little spot for a little picnic despite the unleashed couple of crabby old small dogs (Shame on the owner). I saw one old dog dropping and there were a number of dog walkers, I thought that was impressive. Very picturesque park.
Great place to get a view of the sunset with plenty of street parking nearby.
Beautiful overlook, one of my favorites of the city!
Good views of the Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island and on a clear day you can see the Olympic range. Some of the brush below the fence line blocks the view which is disappointing.
Great park for picking Awesome SUNSETS.
Do you want to feel a sense of wonder and insignificance at the same time? Cast your eyes upon this view.
The prettiest place to enjoy the scenary.
Great views from Ballard Heights.
Greatest sunset, even if you dont live there
I want to keep the hoards of people on the beach, for volleyball, bonfires and playing in the water.This park is in a nice neighborhood. Only street parking available. Family oriented. A great place to enjoy some quiet book reading, absorbing some sun and enjoying the breezes.
Great place to have a picnic!
Great views. Not much else, but it is a popular spot with the locals.
The best view of Puget sound.
Always love this place.
This is a funny and nice park. You have a few benches but not really access to the wood. The sunset is really pretty though
Great place for a beautiful sunset and view of the Olympics
Epic view of the sun setting over the Olympics
The sunsets are always perfect. Overlooks the ocean.
Ive grown up seeing the view. I love it.
Beautiful view and great for sunset pictures
Nice views of the Olympics and Shilshole
Wow, perfect place to watch the sunset! The park offers a few picnic tables and there is a nice grassy area where you can layout a blanket!
Breathtaking sunsets. Get a nice blanket and some hot chocolate and just relax and watch the sunset.
Its beautiful place.
Best place to run and see the sunset (literally) in Ballard.
A great neighborhood park for a pretty view of the Olympic mountains.
Great nw veiws sw veiws as well. Shilshole bay marina, the Olympic peninsula, Olympic mountain range. The brothers. Mt. jupiter,Mt. Constance are a few peaks to see from here +many more. Sunsets from Here are spectacular, thus the parks namesake. Some dude tried to off himself years ago, by driving his car over the edge. He failed. Good thing he drove off in the wrong spot and the trees stopped him. Lucky dude I dont know what makes a guy want to go out that way?the old drive over a cliff thing. Hollywood.
Lovely neighborhood park
Small park in a residential neighborhood. One of the best places in Seattle to watch the sun set over the Olympic Mountains. Easy parking, never crowded.
Dont bother.
Terrible park, theres nothing to see, *at all*
Amazing views, wish I could spend more time here and soak up the ambience.
Nice spot for a sunset in Ballard
Beautiful place to watch a sunset over Puget Sound.
I grew up with it
Great views of sunset
Amazing views especially at sunset and just a cool park in general, it a great place to go if you wanna play catch but dont want to many people getting in your way
Beautiful place to view the sunset and Shilshole harbor. Plenty of views and benches to rest.
Great little viewpoint overlooking Shilshole bay.
Excellent view
Cute neighborhood vantage point overlooking Shilshoe Bay. Great destination to walk to and enjoy the sunset.
Brought my lunch down to Sunset Hill Park to enjoy the view on a sunny beautiful day. I can’t wait to return for a sunset.
Absolutely stunning place.
This park offers one of Seattles best views, and its to small and out of the way to have Seattle campers.
Pretty nice. I didnt see even one used needle laying about.
View is great! Grassy area for kids to run in or picnic but nothing else as its not huge & there isnt a play structure. Right on the street across from private homes.
Incredible views of Puget Sound.
Great sunset watching spot, or anytime you want a pickin with a view.
A great place for a quick gorgeous view of the water and Olympics.
Cosy. Meighborly. Calming sunset view. Could get crowded
