Nice park but full of drug users/ homeless. Just like most of Seattle parks. Been that way long before Covid 19.

Lots of homeless and garbage...and rats. But i came for the parkour and that was definitely 5 stars.

Freeway park......home to sum, hang out to others. The park goes through phases. Sometimes the place is where you would take your grandparents on a Sunday afternoon walk. But if you hit it on the downside. Its a fast paced walk all the while hoping the random bums dont try and ask for money.

Nice setting for a quiet walk. Very nice landscaping. A little close to major roadways.

Free park. Its very nice park. Thats Nestled smack dab in the middle of the city.Not much of a grassy area but big enough to get a foot ball game going or let the kids run around and burn some energy. The city has plans to remodel of the whole park in the near future. A place were a person could easily lean back agenst a tree and take a nape.

Beautiful park with a good amount of space to explore/walk through. ESPECIALLY worth a trip in the evening times during the winter. The way they hang lights from EVERY tree in the park coupled with the break-taking colors they choose makes it quite a magical experience just slowly strolling through with a good friend or two.

Small, hidden park in the city to take a brief pause for a breath of fresh air.

A landscape architecture icon that needs some love

Loved this place! The architecture is so cool, reminds me a bit of the Keller fountain in Portland, but without the water. What a great idea to slap a park on top of a freeway! Only in the northwest would they come up with something like this. Chances are pretty good that youll encounter some homeless but I mean its a major city, whaddayagonnado.

One of my very most favorite parks in the city! It covers the i-5 lid, as well as part of the roof of the convention center! Its a big concrete maze of trails coming out at many different spots around three edges of the park stretching from 9th and Pike, first Hill, two Union square and many more! Lots of steps to climb too! Such a beautiful park.. it also has a window looking into the freeway tunnel so you can see the traffic speeding past you!

I could see this being a nice park but I wouldn’t advise visiting at night. The park has become overrun with homeless camping in many areas of the park. Still a fun place to walk through during the day.

Its a really cool space m. Kinda remindsnmemof Escher and/or the scene at the end of Labyrinth where David Bowie is walking around the floating bits of the destroyed castle. I do wish some of the tweakers would make more of an effort to make it a an area where everyone felt comfortable. I think a lot of squares dont even have a chance to notice the coolness of the architecture because theyre so focused on *head down* getting the hell through the place as quickly as possible and a lot of the time I dont blame them. Theres maybe a larger conversation to be had around that that Im not sure fits well here in Google reviews. But who knows, maybe it could? Maybe it has to. I dont exactly hear that conversation taking place anywhere else...

Its a nice view if you looking towards freeway or Union however watch out for the riff Raff

Was warned about needles being around lets just say I didnt feel comfortable letting the kids run around

Great place to enjoy lite, the only downside few public access to the lake , ALL LAKE PRIVATE PROPERTY, SHAME ON GOVERNMENT

Beautiful city park built directly over the freeway (surprise) yet somehow you cant hear any of the city noise when in the center of park.Connects to the Convention center too

Cool inner city park. Nice place to relax and watch time go by

Human feccie around corners watch where you are walking the city needs to install restrooms for the unfortunate

I love Freeway Park. When Im downtown and need a break or to eat my lunch I will walk over to the freeway park and hangout. Its a lovely and surprisingly quiet little nook right in the heart of the city. Its nice to just unwind and breathe for a minute and Freeway Park is definitely the place to do it if you cant get out of downtown. There are a couple of different sections to go to as well with chairs and tables to sit at.

Nice but worn and sad because of the pandemic.

A good spot in the middle of the city if youre wanting a quick escape from everything and a quiet place to just relax.

I love the uniqueness of this park, but the graffiti on the steps leading up to the park disturbs me. Recently the graffiti alludes to the Blood Gang. Gang activity and drug activity seems to be getting out of hand here.

I LOVE Freeway Park! I would come here often to hangout with friends, walk around the neighborhood, or take photos, and Ive seen so many cool things happening here. Theres been people shooting a music video, someone proposing, huge tours of vans-full of people, and prom group photos being taken. Its truly an awesome place to come for tourists and locals.Parking around here can be a little difficult because it is located in a residential area, so the crowded tiny roads can be hard to navigate through. Its never been too much of an issue, because the Queen Anne neighborhood is great for strolling around. The houses in the area are beautiful. Freeway Park is the spot that photos are taken for postcards, so you know the view is going to be outstanding. With the space needle in the back and city in the background, its a cool place to come to see all of the city of Seattle.

Good walk thru place

One of my favorite place. Great environment. Relaxing place.

Typical downtown park. The front page of homelessness. Watch around carefully before you wanna sit on a bench or so.

Great place to get a walk and fresh air!

Great pathway for walks right in the middle of downtown. basically a giant circle.

So its a park in Seattle. If youre from Seattle you probably know what Im talking about. This one has some interesting concrete structures. It is a very beautiful Park. However concrete artwork tends to provide a lot of privacy for people who spend a lot of time in the park. Consequently you wont get through the park without seeing at least 20 or 30 needles. But hey if you stay away from the needles you can still enjoy the scenery and the exercise Hep free.

Spells bad and dirty, can gwt good pictures tho

Parking is available across the street. Its nice small park in the middle of the city. Freeway Park is also one of landscape architect Lawrence Halprins signature style projects.

Wonderful design. Lots of spots to sit, reflect, enjoy the many landscsped plantings, or the people walking by. Minus 2 stars because homeless people pee, defecate, and shoot up there

Beautiful little park right in the heart of Seattle that is also super functional for connecting a few streets and sound dampening. More cities need stuff like this!

Beautiful landscape during fall all the colors change..

Grew up around here, used to be a nice walk from first hill to convention center. I know the parks department is doing their best and the state of the city isnt their fault. But steer clear of you can

Love this park. Its really not as sketchy as everyone claims it is.

Perfect downtown city park. Very cool design.

The park was good and lots of concrete areas and some grassy areas watch out for people smoking near bridges with marijuana reefer. The park doesnt really have any restrooms that I can tell so you may want to visit the restroom before you entered the park unless you want to break the law and defecate the ground. all in all you get a nice breeze from the interstate and probably some manufactured are circulating pumps in the tunnels underneath the park. watch out there are stairs and different levels and ramps everywhere in the park.

Interesting little park! Pretty small and very different from what you’d normally think of parks but it’s a cool and unique little area between all the buildings in Seattle. Quite a bit of graffiti, homeless people galore, and no bathrooms? Not the most recommendable place but it’s nifty and a bit fun to explore if you’re nearby.

I love that its not crowded, but it can be a bit uncomfortable when the only there are homeless sleeping around the park. Last visit featured human feces on one of the installations.

I love it when one can loose themselves in the Sounds of the Water Falls. Relaxing

This place was awesome. I spend great time with friend. Environment was awesome.

This park has a beautiful exotic garden with incredible plant life.

An urban gem that the city has allowed to turn into an open sewer. What used to be a waterfall is now one of the worlds biggest collections of used needles. The city employee responsible for maintenance here is an embarrassment to the people who pay their salary. Zero stars.

Clean park and nice enough during the day. Wouldnt feel the same if I wasnt a tall, white male...

Beautiful park that winds around under the freeway in the middle of downtown Seattle. Theres even a waterfall canyon thats pretty and refreshing. In addition, if youre so inclined, you can see the cars going through the freeway tunnel behind one of the waterfalls in the canyon. A must-see. The stairs and ramps that lead out of the park are lined with water and water features as it winds down the hill from the hospital area above and east of the park.

Easy access to the downtown retail core, secure parking and reasonable parking rates.

Absolutely the very best in parks that Seattle has to offer!! Dont miss this one if youre into enjoying cascading fawna and flora of the utmost beauty. Winter, spring, summer and fall, doesnt matter. Beauty personified all year round.

The best parkour spot in all of Seattle! Big with lots of greenery and cool architectural structures all over the place.

The park meant to defeat a barrier became a barrier itself, how ironic.When the weather is nice, sketchy people absent, and refuse gone, the nooks and crannies can actually seem inviting as designed to be small recluses from city life, especially the stairs down the tall waterfall.Definitely a parkour landmark. Avoid at dark. Generally stay in well traveled sections.

Park here every day for new convention job. So far so good

Great place to park if going to or near the convention center. Early birds pay only $5 for the entire day. I believe that ends at 7am.

The park is nice, although it is completely overshadowed by street people doing drugs on the benches. We even had one of the druggies yell at us What are you looking at? as we were simply checking out the park. It was quite uncomfortable. I wouldnt recommend anyone walk through by themselves. There are so many other parks to check out.

Autumn is in full swing, and the lush foliage is a sight to see. A great picnic spot!

Best park downtown. Finally found the perfect loop that hits all waterfalls. Looking forward to eating more parks in Seattle!

I love this place so much, unfortunately over the years it has changed. I walk through every morning to get to work and I have seen needles and human waste, flies, the stench of urine is overwhelming. This place used to be so beautiful, now it is a dumpster for human filth. The green life is well taken care of, but they need to make sure its safe to walk through and not a biohazard.

I walk this is almost every morning and the view of the city mixed with all of the hidden little hideaways makes every morning a little different. Rumor has it that its expanding...

You can hide in weird places here and watch y-traffic and other weird people.

Its nice place

Nice and quit

Nice place to relax and watch time go by.

Great park. The splash pad and the playground were a hit for the kiddos. Watch out for parking though. Birthday party going on and very limited parking

Beautiful urban space. Some areas do not smell that great...

Went there for a dancing night which was pretty fun. The park itself is a little more disappointing. It does have a very unique feel but the smells and sound of cars driving by make for a not so pleasant experience.

This former haunt of mine has really ship shaped up for the better. Not all the people laying around u def the little bridge doing drugs like it used to be about five years ago. I dont go thru much, but things dont seem to be the same as before. I feel that a victory.

Cute little park with a lot sitting areas and you can bring a dog there and play

Smell less like urine than most of Seattle.. Ive seen security once a week... Soo better than other garages.

What a neat little place. Sitting behind the convention center, it has park like features with a buddy neat little water system in the middle that had waterfalls and hidden spots .

Early Spring in Seattle.

This is a fantastic place to relax in the middle of the city. It stretches over several city blocks and over the highway, yet seems worlds away. In the summer you can find lots of free music, dancing, even outdoor movies.

Surprisingly clean, quiet, and 96.7% tranquil. Gorgeous design providing, both, fantastical views/pics & quiet, shielded (for convos or kisses) picnic spots. Pretty darn decent for such a large park.

I love going to this park to take pictures during Comicon & Sakuracon . The people there are so friendly and its so way cool . Over the years I have taken thousands of pictures there . some of them are pretty sweet . If I get the chance I go to this place every year to take pictures . I have meet so many cool people here . #love

Love the vibe

One of the most singular and incredible parks Ive ever visited. Made up of several sections, each impressive in their own way. Of historical importance, it happens to be the first park ever built over a freeway. This ones definitely a must-visit for anyone who comes to Seattle for any amount of time.

Park was pretty and well manicured but lots of homeless.

Great during day light hours. Stay safe and avoid at night.

Another larger city gem of a retreat. Fountains I encountered were at 6th & Seneca. From photos it appears to be another. A much needed place to get your Zen on.

Beautiful park connecting Downtown to First Hill. It is also connected to the Convention Center where one can grab a cup of Joe and enjoy the spacious indoor seating.

Nice park and kinda like the maze aspect yet the benches need to be replaced for serious reals.

Nice walk through park. Like that its attached to the convention center. Has some great places for pictures.

Fun park in seattle

Love the sound of the water falls, peaceful tranquil and very relaxing

It’s a gorgeous park that I would have loved to sit down in and enjoy had it not been for the overwhelming amount of homeless people shooting up heroin in broad daylight.

This was a great place to eat lunch while spending my day at the convention center. Kind of a hidden little gem

This was a great chill spot in downtown till the junkies moved in.

Its a nice park I like it I like the little waterfalland and thats where they go to remember the homeless people that died so freeway Park I love it

Cool random spot in the middle of downtown. Its different and unique. Of course this area has its share of pot smokers and homeless folks, but they kept to themselves. It was somewhat peaceful.

Nice quiet park right over a busy freeway

I enjoy chilling here an reading in the summer

The structure is fun and interesting but the place itself is dirty with trash and full of urine smell. Need a deep clean up

Its a nice place to walk through during the day. However walking through at night can be a bit sketchy. Probably best to walk with a friend or two.

Freeway Park is a unique Urban Park in a great spot.from all points in the park you can hear the hissing of the Interstate 5 freeway. Its a nice stop if walking from waterfront up Seneca Street to Broadway.

The park itself is beautiful, but feels very unsafe. Would not venture here after dark.

Beautiful water sculpture and great place to walk my dog at lunch time.

Take ur time exploring. There are lots of hidden spots. Interesting park..never have seen one like in before or since

When are they going to do something about the transients using drugs and going to the bathroom here? This wasnt much of a problem when we first moved here and now there are tents out there! Sheesh, I understand people are down on their luck sometimes, but these dont seem to be the kind of people who are just going through a hard time. These are the kinds of people who choose to live this way because they love drugs too much, and they harass people as theyre just trying to walk through the park! I dont feel comfortable even walking through there alone in the daytime anymore! Ive had people follow me, and I certainly cant feel any sympathy for people looking for that kind of trouble! They need to be driven out ASAP!

One star off each for; homeless people everywhere, needles, human feces, and hordes of rats.On a side note, why does a person going for a walk get kicked out of the parks at night while the homeless don’t? If you work a night shift don’t expect to be able to use the parks without hassle on your nights off.

Beautiful spot

I was stuck in the conference center for a conference, obviously. While theres no way to escape the sound of the city, this is an incredible oasis. There were even hummingbirds in December.

It is nice to have greenery in the city especially since it is right above the highway making the noise less so. Freeway park isnt really the best place for kids to play in but not a bad place to step outside when you are cramped in the convention center building and want to stretch your arms.HANDICAPPED INDIVIDUALS: There is an elevator inside the convention center, just know that some of the roads, particularly on the Boren/Pike side is steep or have stairs. When it does snow and ice over, the park doesnt get a lot of attention and ice buildup will be on the paths.
