Covered in monumental artworks, this award-winning nine-acre sculpture park on the waterfront is Seattle's largest downtown green space. It is a great park with running and bike trails, offering a great way to spend a sunny morning. Visitors can enjoy many paths with views of the sound, the needle, and lots of art. The park features a serene and peaceful beach area at Pocket Beach and a nice indoor pavilion area to sit and eat. It is also a great place to watch the sunset with benches. The trail runs by the water with a view of Rainier most days. The park includes a pedestrian bridge and official bike and scooter lanes. There are various picnic tables and benches throughout the entire park. Restrooms are located in the pavilion area during open hours. The park is dog-friendly, with many people walking their dogs. While some areas like a mini skate park have been removed, the park remains an amazing and awesome place to visit, whether on a rainy day or in early fall or spring.
A-mazing park for an evening stroll after work. Rainier, Olympic and alki views make it magical

Always a nice walk! Leisurely and gorgeous. Especially in the summer. Easy “trail” for almost anyone. It’s going through construction currently and they are adding a ton of new things. Can’t wait to see when it’s done
Here's a bold claim: the Olympic Sculpture Park might just have something for everyone. Located on the waterfront, not far from Pike Place Market, it features great views of Puget Sound (well, on clear days) and the ferries going back and forth. Stroll the paths and admire the sculptures large and small scattered throughout the park, or sit on the many chairs and benches and admire the view. There's a nearby bike trail, and the Neukom Vivarium (a giant 60-foot rainforest log ecosystem in a greenhouse) is just steps away. Best of all, it's free! Get a dose of culture and then head down to the waterfront for some fish ?n' chips.
