Home of The Hat n' Boots a Seattle Land Mark from the past.... Needless to say I appreciate the small park in Georgetown that's wedge between BOEING and the Freeway.... We all still need some urban green space to roam on this planet. Not sure I'd wander around in bare feet since unsavory people have been know to consume drugs in the park but it's great to grab your lunch at nearby Calozzi's Cheesesteaks and gobble it up on a sunny day. The giant red hat & monstrous pair of boots use to belong to a local gas station that closed decades ago.. Cool gimmick for getting you to gas up, yet now will stand the test of time at OXBOW PARK for all to enjoy.. read more

Oxbow Park is located in the historical Georgetown neighborhood and is home to the well known Hat and Boots! This park is very, very small and you basically only come here for the sculptures....unless you live in the area in which case there's a small p-patch for the local community. Not exactly worth a special drive BUT the neighborhood itself is lovely! Lots of historical homes with really interesting architecture! read more

Pretty cool place with a cute little pea patch garden next to it. Parking is easy and Katsu burger is near by, so definitely a plus to have good lunch spots near by. There's a small playground but the design is more for big kids, not size appropriate for toddlers. Cool to visit once and have nice chat with your friends, but eh, I probably won't come back unless I have a visitor from out of town. read more

Oxbow Park - Giant art of cowboy boots - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Charming AF. I love Oxbow Park. It's not spacious nor does it offer amenities like a bathroom, tennis courts, waterfront views, like other parks in Seattle. But it has what many of those other parks lack - CHARM. Located in the Georgetown neighborhood, you know you're at the right park when you see a huge cowboy hat and boots, which is most likely why you visited in the first place. It's certainly prime for photo opps, but how the boots and cowboy hat landed in a park is what makes this place special. The cowboy hat and boots were part of a Western-themed gas station back in the '50's where they had an artist design these figures as part of the gas station. It closed when I-5 was established, as it directed customers on another route, away from the gas station. Before then, the gas station had the largest customer base in the area. When it closed many Georegtown residents advocated to save these landmarks, so the City of Seattle preserved these pieces of art to now what is Oxbow Park. The artist eventually moved to San Diego, opening a candy shop right on the waterfront where his wife and him wore western-themed apparel during its operation. After knowing the story, it made me appreciate Oxbow Park much, much more. A lot of heart and soul went into these landmarks that attract visitors today. And when you're done taking a picture with the hat and boots, there is a small playground area for children and a community garden to check out. It's also easy to get to from downtown Seattle, as the bus stop is right near the park. Though, street parking is easy to find since it's in the residential area of Georgetown versus the business centre. I highly recommend visiting Oxbox Park, especially when showing out-of-towners. It's charming, unique and very much a part of Seattle's history. read more

Oxbow Park - Hat & Boots - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Oxbow Park is a small park in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. One side of the park is a children's playground. The other end houses a giant cowboy hat and boots (props from an old gas station). Because of the latter, adventure seekers often come here to see the giant props and snap a few photos. If you come here for the playground, it's a clean, safe park. I recommend it! read more

Yesterday I drove by this by complete coincidence and had to make a U-Turn to go back. I have lived in Seattle for 25 years and this has been on my list for about that long, so I'm convinced it was fate! The park is a lot smaller than I expected (although the hat and boots are huge!) but I really enjoyed it! There's a beautiful pea patch garden to walk through and places to sit. This is truly a hidden gem and I'm really glad I found it! read more

Howdy partner!!! Yea, I guess its pretty cool to see a big ol' cowboy hat & cowboy boots. Came here while in the area with a friend, its a pretty small park with a playground for kids, pea patch area, small open field area where people can set up a table and give out free clothes. At least that's what they were doing when I went. I think we were only here for like 10 minutes...MAX! Not a whole lot to see, just came by took a photo, looked & walked around the area, looked at the free clothes table, talked to the nice lady in charge of the table, she gave us some water bottles to take with us, said "god bless" and we were on our way. I believe this used to be an old gas station area and now turned into a park. Pretty neat landmark in Georgetown area, come on by and take a gander at it! read more

Oxbow Park - Oxbow Park - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Oxbow Park is a public park in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. This park, in the heart of Georgetown, is easy to spot, as it's home to Hat and Boots, a former gas station saved by the community and moved to the park for restoration.  It is street parking and George town doesn't have the best reputation but it is worth the visit. My kids and I loved it. Played for a little over an hour took a few pictures met another really nice couple with their kids and went home with a different park to add to our list. This is a famous landmark south of Seattle, originally part of a cowboy-themed gas station built in 1954 named "Premium Tex." The orange hat, 19 feet tall and 44 feet wide, sheltered the station office; the boots were Cowboys and Cowgirls bathrooms (the slightly smaller one was for the ladies). When the gas station closed, Georgetown residents came together to save the hat and boots, which now have a new home in Oxbow Park. The small neighborhood park also features a playground and community garden, aka P-Patch. If you're in Georgetown, stop by for a photo. read more

Who couldn't love Oxbow Park? Like a chunk of the Southwest that landed in Georgetown, the giant cowboy boots and hat are unforgettable. Brightly painted and well maintained, they're actually visible from a few blocks away. The park also has a children's playground, a P-patch, benches, and lots of lovely grass to lay in. I'll definitely be taking more out-of-towners here to show them one of the strangest sites in town. Watch out Texas, Washingtonians like big, weird stuff too! read more

This park needs to be the next Freemont Troll. It is hilarious and well kept. Where else can you find a giant cowboy hat suspended in the air, or three-story tall cowboy boots?! Street parking is always wide open in front of the park. A great 5-minute stop if you have someone in town and you want to show them the quirky side of Seattle. read more

Oxbow Park - They are that big! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I went to a Banda concert here when I was a teenager on a weekend. They haven't had a banda concerts advertised, but a lot of families come together and are here over the weekends. I love this park because it reminds me of music that I grew up on as a kid- Pepe Aguilar, Banda Limón, chalino sanchez, los tucanes de tijuana, lalo mora read more

Best park in the whole entire universe! My son and I love making the trip to this park. We live in Lynnwood, so it isn't super close, but it's the perfect destination! When I was a kid, this was a gas station, and the boots were the bathrooms. My son loves when I tell him I used to pee in the boots. The playground is awesome, and the pea patch is amazing. Not to mention the cool house right across the street, AND you can watch the planes flying low overhead, as Boeing Field is very close. This is an important part of the tour I give out of towners, because it's not something that's part of your standard Seattle places. However, make sure you go to the bathroom before you get there, because you can't pee in the boots any more, and there aren't any honey pots. read more

AKA. BOOTS & HAT PARK. What a fantastic little neighborhood park! The larger than life cowboy hat and colorful boots are the anchors of this small park. We brought our own picnic lunch (got Katsu Burger!) and brought it out here to enjoy the surrounding. We had a pleasant day and had fun climbing on the boots for a photo opp. There is also a fun little playground for small children and picnic tables. If you want to bring a blanket, you can also pitch it on the small grassy hills and people watch. read more

The Oxbow Park has the Landmark Hat and Boots that were moved there. It used to be at a Gas Station nearby on Marginal Way, by Boeing Field. Across the st. on the Eastside is the Georgetown Castle or the very haunted Gessner Mansion. A Murder of a Baby took place there. You can read more about that online. It's also noted in a Ghost book of Haunted Places in Seattle. It's a private residence but they decorate the yard with hanging bones. So visit there for Trick or Treating. Otherwise you can look from outside this house. read more

Oxbow Park is an amazing little gem in Georgetown. I finally brought some lunch there today and it was just perfect. I only saw one picnic table under a shaded tree, but there are several raised concrete benches that you can sit on while eating. Superplus is the seating underneath the Hat of Hat'n'Boots so even if it's drizzling but temperate, you can still enjoy coming here. There's a playground that looks in great, like-new condition, and grassy areas to stretch out on. Perfect! read more

What an awesome little park! I went there for the first time today for a birthday party for my friends' four-year-old. (It is, understandably, a favorite spot of hers; hence the decision to have her party here.) This is a peaceful little oasis set on a residential street, just a block or so from the more industrial area of Georgetown. In addition to the infamous, and tremendously cool, hat 'n boots, the park also boasts a children's play area, a park bench made of recycled plastic milk jugs (courtesy of Starbucks, so it even includes a cup holder) and what might possibly be the most amazing little P-patch I have ever seen. Despite there being a large group of rambunctious four-year-olds running around playing cowboys and pirates (don't ask), several unfazed neighborhood folk were also in the park -- walking, sitting, just enjoying the day, If I lived in the neighborhood, I am certain I would do that often, Even though I don't live in the neighborhood. I'll definitely be making some return trips to this unique little piece of Seattle. read more

I just love this park, and appreciate that they gave a second life to the Hat n'Boots. We loved it so much that we used it as the theme for our daughter's 4th birthday. The kids had a great time! read more
