Great views of the city and skyline! Small grassy area with benches to sit and enjoy the view. Mostly a viewpoint though if you're looking for larger green spaces. Also very popular and crowded year round if it's not raining. Would definitely recommend though! read more

One of my favorite parks if you're looking for gorgeous views in Seattle! When it's busy, parking can be a little difficult to find. We parked on the street and walked towards the park. I've been during both daytime and nighttime and if you want to see the skyline all lit up, come at night! Lots of folks come here to take photos and enjoy the view. read more

One of my favorite sport in town! A great place for gatherings and pickinks. Specially summer time, we get together for all sorts of events and activities. Nice place for a get-together! read more

Kerry Park - Breathtaking view!! - Parks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Kerry Park is a delightful place to take in the popular city view. Living in the area, I often work it into my walk and notice that parking can sometimes get bogged down right in front of the park, but if you go a bit further there are plenty of spaces just one to two blocks up in front of the homes. On the right side edge of the lookout there are stairs which go down to the next street. I think the stairs are a great place to view the skyline and snap some pictures without anyone in front of you. If you go down the stairs, there is a playground at the base, which is very nice for kiddos to burn off some energy. Diagonal from that playground is another lookout point where you have yet another view of the city which is delightful and less visited. read more

Kerry Park is very small and always full with people. The view is definitely amazing though. I feel bad for everyone who lives in the area as it can be quite hectic for all when they have to find parking or have people over. The noise as well. 4 stars for a beautiful view of the city. read more

Kerry Park has the best view of Seattle! Every time I come here, I feel like I'm living out my grey's anatomy dreams. The park is perfection because of the view you get of the Seattle skyline including the space needle. The park is easily accessible and free. It's not a large park, but there are plenty of spots to get the perfect view. I would highly recommend visiting the park by car. I've walked to the park before but because it's located up a hill, it's quite the work out! Seattle is a great city and taking in the views at Kerry Park remind you of that. I do think it's worth taking a trip to come here to see this view. read more

This is the location to go if you need a photo of you in front of the Seattle skyline with the Sky Needle in the shot. Took my mom and aunties up here to take some shots and it was really endearing to see those weak, elderly ladies smile and joke as they took photos with each other, hugging and laughing as they posed near the statue and in front of the view. It's a pretty good place for a quick walk if your puppy needs to relieve itself (please be responsible and pick up after your pooch) and there's always a couple of spots freeing up just as you pull up for easy parking and a quick photo. read more

The views of the Seattle skyline are really beautiful and clear here. This very small park is located in a neighbourhood and has a great view of the Space Needle. The lower section has a playground for kids. read more

Sitting atop of Queen Anne is Kerry Park. Photo op Hotspot of Seattle. You can see right into downtown, across the water and beyond. The park sits in the middle of a neighborhood street and as you come upon it is an overlook with a well known - terrific view of the city. Many tourists and locals a like will be present as was so on this visit. You may have to hang around a bit to line up your perfect photo shot. There is a playground and some open field space for youngsters or your dog friend to run around that sit below the overlook with steps leading up and down to it. On the clearest of days you should be able to see A complete view that envelops downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, the West Seattle promontory, Bainbridge Island, and Mount Rainier all together. Coming to Seattle, this is likely one of the places you'll take a visitor or suggest to them. read more

I didn't read the reviews before coming here, so I didn't know what to expect. After coming here, I'm glad I didn't spend the money to go up to the space needle. I actually ended up visiting this destination last on my mini trip to Seattle, but it turned out to be a really nice day, not crowded, and good way to kill 20-30 minutes. Unfortunately, it wasn't a perfect day...it was partly cloudy, so I couldn't see Mt. Rainer. I visited on a Sunday morning and easily found parking right in front. I didn't really spend too much time walking around the entire park, but it's reqlly just a mini park on a hillside, and you park along the top. There is artwork in the center and a viewing area with rails. They have 1 small telescope for magnified viewing for 50 cents. Come here for great views of downtown!! read more

Great park wow!!!! Its so nice and amazing and people are cool cool. This is where they filmed no retreat no surrender for sure read more

Kerry Park does not need any introduction. It is THE place for the quintessential Seattle view of the Space Needle and Mount Rainier. All Seattle landscape photographers end up here at some point of their photography career or hobby, capturing this view in various light conditions, sprinkled with festive fireworks, and/or decoratively smudged with spooktacular fog or dramatic clouds. This almost cliche-like view never gets old and continues to attract locals and tourists alike on a daily basis. Sharing my takes of this Seattle view taken over the past few years under different conditions. read more

This is the most amazing view of Seattle from this location! Postcard perfect! My kids have been here before so they told me about it. I felt so strongly about it that I rented a car right at the airport to come here, and I'm glad I did! It's a very small park, but worth the long uphill drive parking was available, but be careful during busy days. Try to avoid coming early in the morning or late in the afternoon when people are trying to get back to their houses! read more

Here's what you need to do: Prep: Find a clear, sunny day. Brace yourself for crowds of people taking photos like it's the Eiffel Tower. Step 1: find a friend or stranger with halfway decent photography skills. iPhone's portrait mode will probably work fine; you don't need a fancy camera (though it wouldn't hurt). Step 2: Take photos with a quintessential Seattle view in the background. Step 3: Update *all* your social media and dating apps with the new picture. Step 4: Let the torrent of likes and matches come in* ~~~ Jokes aside, this is where you would see *the* skyline view of Seattle, including the water and Mt. Rainier if it's a clear weather day, and it's great for photos or just a great view. It is also free and doesn't close at night. While it is officially called a park, it is about 600 sqft of land on an elevation. A place to stop, take in the view, and maybe come back once in the evening or night. Seeing how expansive the view is and that it is free, I can say Kerry Park exceeded my expectations enough to earn the fifth star! * Results not guaranteed read more

What's there to say that hasn't been said in 900+ reviews? Kerry Park is definitely a spot to come for iconic Seattle skyline views, but I wouldn't say it's a spot to come and spend a lot of time. The park itself is rather small, and obviously a touristy attraction, so you can usually count on it to be busy. Parking is street parking only. The couple of times I have been here, I haven't had trouble snagging a spot (and more often than not, it's free). If you're travelling to Seattle and want to see amazing views of downtown Seattle complete with Mount Rainier and the Space Needle, Kerry Park is the spot to be. On a clear day, the view is gorgeous during the day and night! TLDR; do it for the 'gram, but don't expect to be here for hours. Still worth it! read more

Searching for the best view of downtown Seattle with the perfect photo op? THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Itching to see a mixture of massive classic/modern homes with lush yards that create the scene out of a Nancy Meyer's set? THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Interested in learning about history of the area while roaming the greens and art sculpture? THIS IS YOUR PLACE! This small park was described as a "must see" for my husband and I on our recent trip to Seattle, and now I totally see why! The views are absolutely stunning, and the overlook provides a 180-degree view of the cityscape, harbor and Mt. Rainier! These photos don't do justice! Definitely worth a stop when in and around the Seattle area! read more

Finally made it around to Kerry Park this visit! There's little to no parking. It's pretty much down to side streets and walking. The views of Seattle are awesome. However, the crowds are a bit much. It was crazy busy and definitely touristy. I prefer quieter, local spots, but I can see why Kerry Park is so popular. I wouldn't say this is a must to visit, but if you want a great view of Seattle, this is the spot. read more

It's a beautiful view once you reach the top. They do have some seating available where you can just sit and enjoy the view. The street hill is very steep, so if you're planning on walking, wear comfortable shoes. I found a Lime scooter and rode it up the hill. They do have plenty of bikes/scooters laying around the city, so I'd suggest using it going up. I spent about $6.00 for the ride. Then took the transit back to the city (~$3.00). Tip(s): - Wear comfortable shoes or ride a Lime bike/scooter to go up to the top (it's a steep hill) read more

For a beautiful shot of Seattle and all its gems, this a great place to grasp it all. Parking: The parking is not hard to get to. It's basically an extended street. Depending on the time and day, parking can get competitive. Feels: B-E-A-Utiful! A lovely, charming neighborhood with houses with a sense of history. Some are old school others are nicely renovated. This park is a very simple park, the top is a gorgeous view to sit and hang out. The lower side of a hill is a playground for kids to play and parents to chill. Overall: 5 Stars. Fantastic! It's quite a sight! The lovely houses, view of the ocean, Space Needle, and Mt Ranier (depending on the weather). Great place to simply reflect, snack, and enjoy the beauty of the Northwest. Stay classy, Seattle! TL;DR Tips: * Plan accordingly (sunset, weather, traffic, etc) read more

Kerry Park - Panoramic views - Parks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

More viewpoint than park, this "park" is about a block long and maybe 40 feet wide. The streets to get up to this viewpoint are steep, probably the steepest in Seattle. But the views and the photos you'll take are worth the drive. Street parking next to or near the park is plentiful and shouldn't be a problem. Turnover is quick since there's nothing else at this park but the view (and other tourists). read more

Kerry Park - The view from this park. - Parks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This park was cute! It's pretty small but the views are great :) There's street parking around the area and some even free! I think most of them were free actually. It was also near a residential area so you can see a lot of houses with great architectural work. I went when it was cold (early May) so make sure to bring a warm jacket since it can get windy up there. But I'm sure the weather can vary haha so just come on a nice and clear day if you can. I came around sunset (around 6-7 pm) so that was a lovely experience to see the sunset along with the skyline of seattle. I enjoyed how there weren't a lot of people there when I went and how you could take pictures. They even had a telescope that costs $0.50 to get a closer view of the city. I saw some cute dogs as well playing a small game of fetch with a frisbee. I think if I were to show people around Seattle, this would be one of the places on my list :) read more

The first time I visited Seattle I was in an Uber and my driver recommended Kerry Park as a place to visit. That was the first Seattle place I bookmarked and I finally came here years later. There is free parking right at the view point which is nice and convenient. When you arrive you will see sweeping views of the city with the Space Needle front and center as well as the Pacific Ocean on the right side. If you are actually looking for the park part there is a small playground at the bottom of the stairs. It's not the biggest park ever but the main attraction here is just the damn good view that can't be beat. This is a great place to relax and soak in the beautiful panoramic views of Seattle. If you're visiting Seattle this is a must-visit and if you already live here it's still an amazing place to see the beauty of the city that you may not have seen before. read more

Kerry Park is one of the best places to visit to get a great view of Seattle, also it has a great park for kids, so this is definitely a good place to visit with friends and family. They are a lot of stairs to get to the observation area, so be prepared to walk up several flights of stairs. This is a great place to spend an afternoon. read more

Popular place in Seattle to watch a beautiful sunset. Better get here early so you can find street parking close by. Otherwise, you will not be able to see the sunset from the park. Well, we did not arrive early enough to find close parking in the neighborhood. Still, we all needed the exercise so the walk was welcoming to most of us. The evening we came, the sky was quite clear. We got an excellent view of the beautiful sunset. As a bonus, we also got fabulous views of the downtown Seattle skyline, Space Needle, and Mount Ranier. Great Photo Opp destination! read more

Here the views! We walked away with a a squinty sunny selfie here in the afternoon because it was super sunny, haha. This was filled with people even on a weekday but understandable. It really has a great view of Seattle- I think even better at sunset which is past 7 pm. Still glad we made it here. I think we would have stayed longer if we weren't in a time crunch to catch other stops along the way. This is a beautiful free view of the city skyline. read more

Not your typical park which usually have rides, sand and restrooms, Kerry Park is the one location in Seattle that is known for its breathtaking views of the Seattle skyline. From here, you can literally see just about all of what Seattle has to offer, the most famous sighting being the iconic Space Needle. From a distance, one can also see Lumen Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, and right next to it being the T-Mobile Field, home of the Seattle Mariners. From an even smaller distance, you can slightly catch a glimpse of the giant Ferris wheel that is by the pier. Parking is very scarce, as this is a tourist hotspot. This park is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood, so it'd probably be best to use a ride share service or rent a bicycle/scooter to get here. There are some beautiful looking Victorian style homes around here to check out. Oh, this park is also walking distance from the famous house that is seen in Grey's Anatomy! Those who watch the show will get the reference! read more

An amazing little viewpoint to check out in Seattle! It has the perfect view of the city and the Space Needle. It's not your typical park with a playground or a large open grass field, but more like a drive by spot to stop at and take pictures at. There's parking right in front but it was full when we stopped by, so we just parked in the neighborhood. There were definitely plenty of people when we came but it wasn't too crowded and spaces opened up so you can get some nice pictures in with the view. read more

Kerry Park is such an awesome spot to take in the views of the Seattle skyline, especially at sunset. If you're lucky, you can see Mount Rainier standing majestically in the background. I'm glad I finally had a chance to visit the park - although it's really just a small sliver of space with a few benches. The views are simply wonderful. We watched the boats move along the harbor and airplanes flying to various destinations. The air was crisp and cool as the sun set and the sky turned from day to night. It was the perfect way to end a full day of sight seeing and meeting up with friends and family. The park is in a neighborhood so I imagine parking can be hard to find during peak visiting hours, but we lucked out! Despite the limited space, that didn't seem to stop anyone from visiting this popular spot. We must've gone while nearby high schools had their junior prom because limo after limo came filled with kids decked out in their suits and dresses. I don't blame them. Kerry Park provides the perfect backdrop to any photo. I'd recommend a stop here at sunrise or sunset to get that nice golden glow. read more

Took an Uber up here to get that classic, "Postcard", photograph of Seattle. Everything I read about this park said it is constantly packed with tourists but that wasn't my experience. When we arrived there were maybe 10-12 other people there. Then again, it was late at night so that could have had something to do with it. If you want to get an amazing view of Seattle then look no further. Just make sure your camera has the ability to zoom because the view is not as close as it looks in photos. read more

Living in the Seattle area you quickly learn to appreciate and take advantage of ANY sunny day especially in the fall/winter season. Kerry Park is extremely popular so navigating how to take in the view SAFELY can be tough, but possible. We took in the view but chose not linger as some people had on mask, and practiced social distancing; while others did not. My husband and I chose to park several miles away to walk with our boys, and enjoy such a spectacular day in Seattle. If you're wanting to linger and take multiple pictures, I suggest arrive as early as possible. If your a tourist or just a new resident like us definitely make some time to visit Kerry Park the view is priceless. read more
