Nice little cute park with a view of the lake and the city. Kerry park is nearby as well with a bit more of an unobstructed view of the city.

Great little park with excellent views. It has a playground at the bottom of the hill and even has parking, a rarity in almost any central Seattle neighborhood.

Really nice picnic table area underneath some trees, quiet fpr so close to old 99 too.

Great views of downtown and SLU from the top, a decent playground at the bottom, and a somewhat sketchy and heavily forested path linking the two.One complaint: folks treat the playground area like an off-leash dog park, which it is not.

This is a perfect little park. Great views up top of downtown Seattle and Lake Union, a few tiny trails, open area for dogs or frisbees, picnic tables, and place area for kids.

This is a great alternative to Kerry Park! Similar views with less crowds and a more laid back feeling. There is also more space to spread out. Definitely worth a visit!

Great park to stroll through with lots of things for the kids to do. Theres a rock climbing section with a roller-blade and scooter lane the circles around. Theres also mini golf section and a jungle gym area. Theres also enough tree shades to just sit on the grass and just relax and enjoy the breeze we had. Definitely recommend for those who have kids who needs to burn some energy off.

Nice Garden, decent view of the city. Can be a bit tricky in a wheelchair, careful where you go.

Love this spot. Kerry park is way to crowded. This has a different, great view. More intimate and romantic. Parking is usually available but there is not much of it. Can be hard to find

I really love this place. At the top of the park at night it is beautiful. The views are stunning. It does take a little work to get to the top but worth it.

Street parking is quite limited, but this neighborhood park is a nice place for young children to play. Well-maintained play structure with climbing wall. No swing set, though.

Beautiful view of Union Lake and downtown Seattle. There are few benches and also grass. Water fountain did not work and I wish it can be fixed soon

A quaint little park on the top of Queen Anne with stunning views of Seattle. The park sits in a nice and quiet residential neighborhood. The sweeping views include east over Lake Union, south to downtown, and southwest to the Seattle City Center. There is a fabulous view of the Space Needle. There is a little path surrounded by trees, bushes, and flowers (in the spring and summer) that descends into another neighborhood below. Ive never encountered more than 1-3 people at a time while visiting. Its a great little park to grab your coffee and read a book on the bench while having the city view in front of you.

This small park is beautiful and extremely well-maintained with a recent upgrade of a retaining wall. In addition to the playground, there are a few winding paths and some interesting spaces - it is actually packed with surprises and things to see for such a small space. The view from the top of the hill is phenomenal.

Beautiful park. At the top a panoramic view of Seattle and walk down the trail to a very kid friendly playground. On the way down the trail was a wonder couple playing a Fleetwood mac song practicing and singing. Enjoyed myself

Nice, quaint, leafy park tucked in to the hills of Queen Anne. A playground at the bottom leads you up a set of stairs covered in edible blackberry vines to a stunning view of the city and the space needle.

Interesting view, nice spot in a nice neighborhood. Not really worth going out of the way for, with Kerry Park being so close.

Both of my kids love this park. We walked (climbed) from Westlake Ave N and it was so hilly that I have to carry them periodically. Once arrived, we got rewarded with the fun playing in the play grounds. My son and I climbed further up to the lookout and enjoyed the beautiful view of Space Needle and city. It was a great day!

This place is beautiful! Small pocket parks like this, tucked away in neighborhoods, make exploring a city by foot so much fun. I could have sat here for hours with a pair of binoculars taking in the Seattle skyline and boats on the Sound. In my opinion this is a must see in Seattle.

Beautiful view. I recommend a day trip and an evening trip to see the city at night.

Homeless man sleeping on a bench. Had to tell my kids to watch where they stepped due to used needles littering the ground.

There is nothing more exciting than watching Seatlle wake up from the hours of 12 midnight to 5 A.M. (sunrise) while on acid. The sights and sounds of the city are outstanding while your mind is altered. The emergency vehicle with their flashing light and sirens leave trails of red and blue lights pulsing throughout the corridors flanked by the behemoth towers meandering in and around our Emerald City. This is a must do experience to fully enjoy our Jet City in style. And there is no better place to do this than Bye Kracke Park.

Just down the road from Kerry Park with its iconic view of the city is this smaller park overlooking Lake Union, Capitol Hill, and more. Great views minus the crowds (at least, as of this writing). One of Seattles best kept secrets.

Mi
Review №48

A great view of the Seattle skyline that can substitute for the usual Kerry Park below. Some trees that slightly begin to intrude the view, but no problem in the winter without leaves. Two beaches and a drinking fountain, but no park lights unfortunately. Two parking spots nearby.

Does anyone else realize that the name of the park is the literal phonic pronunciation of buy crack park? Haha this cant be coincidental, well actually thinking of it there is a trolly with and equally offensive name

I love this place! My hommies and I love to bring our poetry notebooks here and share lines (of poetry). Dont forget to bring your own needle- the outdoor cross-stitching club is not okay with sharing.

The most underrated of Queen Anne parks and downtown Seattle viewpoints.

Mi
Review №58

Went here and ignored the written warning on a sign that said you cannot see the 4th of July ffireworks from here. I figured oh that is just angry locals trying to protect their viewing spot for themselves. Guess what? You cannot see the fireworks at all!!! A lot of unhappy people there all with the same bad info...all got to miss the fireworks along with us. We heard the fireworks though. :(

I originally was walking off steam and stumbled on this overlook. It was breathtaking and took my anger away. Very relaxing.

A great view, not very crowded, and a pretty challenging (albeit short) hike straight up the Queen Anne hill through a lush garden path.

Beautiful park. I came here for the fourth of July fireworks show, unfortunately the launching location of the fireworks changed and this park no longer has a view of the show. :-(

Do not try to watch the 4 th of July fireworks from this spot!!!! It got crowded and then as the fireworks started, we all realized....you cant see them! The houses block the view where the fireworks erupt to the left over the lake! Such a waste....my poor kids were devastated :(
