Freeway Park — Attraction in Seattle

I’d love to give this place 5 stars, but the homeless number of homeless keep growing, and it’s seemingly less and less safe. While I have never had an actual issue or direct confrontation with anyone, I’m still not thrilled when there are regularly people walking through, screaming the usual Seattle homeless call of obscenities at no one at the top of their lungs. But honestly most are pretty chilling and not really a problem day or night. Most comments say night is more sketchy, But as a frequent visitor to walk the dogs here, I find day time to have more of the crazies. Regardless the problem isn’t going away, and they have as much of a right to access the park as anyone, so I’m still going with 4 stars.

The park itself, when clean, is beautiful and picturesque of a central metropolitan park. With many places to explore new city views, and cool art instillations for both day and night. This place is a great little (but also not really that little) area for anyone to come to have a quiet lunch, read a book, take some photos, walk their dogs, maybe do some yoga on the many walls of concrete. Which as long as you stay out of the depths of the small urban canyon they create, are clean and great to just sit down and reflect or vibe to some tunes on. The park is also a great way for those who walk, bike, or ride any kind of PEV to cut through the streets of the city.

It’s hard not to let the homelessness problem that’s currently worsening affect how I, or anyone else, views so many places in Seattle in an all negative and for some downright heartless and cold fashion nowadays. And it’s understandable if you’ve had unpleasant confrontations with any one unfortunate enough to be calling a new corner of a park or street their “home”. But remember that they are people as well, stuck in a place in life that could or could not be directly their fault. But either way, rather than avoiding the prettiest places Seattle has to offer, bring an extra sandwich, couple of bucks, an old blanket, sweater, or jacket and offer it to anyone that seems like they could need it. I think anyone who does this will make this park, or any of our local parks, feel much more 5 star like, if we show some kindness to the...

I LOVE Freeway Park! I would come here often to hangout with friends, walk around the neighborhood, or take photos, and I've seen so many cool things happening here. There's been people shooting a music video, someone proposing, huge tours of vans-full of people, and prom group photos being taken. It's truly an awesome place to come for tourists and locals.

Parking around here can be a little difficult because it is located in a residential area, so the crowded tiny roads can be hard to navigate through. It's never been too much of an issue, because the Queen Anne neighborhood is great for strolling around. The houses in the area are beautiful. Freeway Park is the spot that photos are taken for postcards, so you know the view is going to be outstanding. With the space needle in the back and city in the background, it's a cool place to come to see all of the...

This is one of the more unique parks in Seattle because it has such diversity to it many different levels and many different areas yet all proportionate enough that you don't see everything all at once it does give you a sense of adventure while exploring plus covers so much of the diversity of Seattle going from one side of the park to the other because you see several different views of the city skyline including lake Union the freeway of course downtown Seattle and Puget sound and it's glorious sunset, sunrises, and skyline of mountains water and much more of Seattle's beauty that seems to have been gathered up like a bouquet just for the eyes to view in a most wondrous arrangement, highlighting some of the cities amazing visually spectacular foundations. Er, or something to that idea, but yeah, quite a unique and...
