Powell Barnett Park — Attraction in Seattle

This a big beautiful park with all the offerings. A large field, basketball court, play sets for the kids to climb, & benches to sit & talk on sunny days.

Right on the main stretch of MLK way, the city has temporarily cleaned out the park of RV's & tents for now but as soon as the dates expire for no parking dates, the RV's will undoubtedly come back to litter this beautiful shared neighborhood area.

For now, people can enjoy the amenities. When I was there, Parks & Rec were there picking up the trash. There are public restrooms available & pets are welcome as long as they are on leash & watched after.

Kids fill this playspace & that's great to see.

Midas 5-stars for a neighborhood playground...

This park reminds me of cookouts from my childhood. The play structures are great and fun for everyone. There’s a basketball court right next to the play structure, and there’s also a huge field of grass. My only concern is how appealing the castle looking bathroom might look to a young child, and what dangers that could insight, so please keep an eye out for children under your supervision if they use the bathroom there. (Obviously that’s good to do anywhere, but I worry a little more at this particular park) that could be me being a little irrational, but it’s just a friendly...

This park has 3 main attractions: A wonderful children's play area, with the top-end structures donated by Starbucks. Basketball courts where you can always find a pickup game. A wide open field which is used mostly for dogs running around playing fetch or people playing frisbee or catch. There's a great HOPE sign up which is wonderful urban art. There's maybe 2 or 3 picnic tables as well. The only reason I'm not at 5 stars is, there isn't any fence to contain the children and pets from the really busy street (MLK)...that would make it perfect. So...
