Cute little park! I loved learning the story about the HatnBoots and its history. It is kind of a sad Radiator Springs story...route i5 passed over 99 and the Tex Premium gas station couldnt survive. I cant believe I had never heard about it before. Id love to go on a sunny day sometime! Cute little community garden in the park as well as a nice playset.

Im posting on the spirit of my husband who as you can tell, was so excited to view the magnificent boots and hat statewide attraction. To my horror, he caught a concussion and currently trying to regain consciousness as we speak. Luckily, the bathroom was built in to back of the the art piece so we

Great little community park with community garden in Georgetown right off of Corson Avenue. These boots and hat used to be a gas station before I-5 was built into Seattle. It’s rumored Elvis Presley stopped at that gas station.

Tiny neighborhood park with the old giant hats n boots. They need a plaque to talk about its history. Check out the local cake shop down the street and help yourself to a picnic.

I made it my main priority to come here to take pictures for my 18th birthday and I was not disappointed! The park is very clean and well kept compared to others in the area. The hat and boots are also well kept and doesnt seem to have any damage done to them. They really are some big boots and it is a huge hat, I was shocked how big they really are. The playground is befitting of any kid to play on and is also well kept and seems to have clean wood chips. There are benches to sit on and it seems that there is a neighborhood garden of sorts that is maintained. I throughly enjoyed the time I spent here taking some goofy pictures for my birthday. The hat and the boots do have a very interesting story behind them, so I would suggest looking it up if you havent already.

Ok, this is such a random place! Why in the world is there a giant cowboy hat and cowboy boots in Seattle? I have clue. Lol There isnt much to the park besides them, do fine expect to spend a lot of time here. There are also local gardening patches, so in growing season, I imagine theyd be pretty to look at.

I like this cool and odd place for a quick visit. Its in the middle of Georgetown. A lot of street parking.

Small park in a quiet area. Two bus routes go directly here, so it is easy to get to. There is a playground area for kids and some shade is provided by the giant cowboy hat. Overall its a nice, clean little park near a cool neighborhood.

Worlds largest boots and hat is definitely something to stop by and is it sits in a very cute quiet little neighborhood. Would have been nice to see something with information as to how it got started.

I always go to this park to gain perspective on life - the sheer size of the hat & boots makes me feel so tiny & in a way it makes my problems feel smaller. Its like the smallest amusement park but highly amusing and a great thinking spot and popular for photos.I feel like Im playing out a scene in a Wes Anderson film every time I visit.

Surprisingly small park with a small garden patch and huge hat and boots. Great place to take unique pics! And relax for a bit as well. Not much to do beyond that, but definitely worth coming for the pics!

Nice little park in Georgetown with a small performance place under the hat. When the weather is nice, a good place to eat your cake from Deep Sea Sugar & Salt. Also have a few raised beds for a community garden.

Very cute, whimsical park. Nice P-Patch, Historic Hat and Boots. Nice architectural layout. Perfect for small parties and picnics. Stayed for a short while because the planes flying overhead were a challenge for my sensory sensitive child. Lots of bumble bees in the grass because they loved the pink flowers. Thank goodness we werent stung. Overall, nice park Id visit it again.

Beautiful! Clean and meticulously maintained. Hat & Boots Park truly reflects Georgetowns vibe! Every inch is pleasing to the senses from the individual garden plots to the various seats perfectly positioned throughout the park. Last summer they even featured movies that were enjoyed by the locals.

Not only does this park feature historically cool gigantic artifacts, it also has almost anything you would want in a park -- an open grassy area, barbecues, and a playground. Its a great place to hang out and often feels like the hub of the neighborhood.

Hat and boots park is a cute family park in George Town that has two parts on one side, it’s just big enough to play catch or throw A frisbee. On the other side there’s a community garden called the pee patch.

This is a really neat park to visit because of the restored structures. There should be some informational signs though telling about their history.

Love this little park in my neighborhood. A lot of people do not know about the hat and boots or the history behind them. They bring back memories of my childhood here. Its one place I always bring people to see when they come visit me in Georgetown.

This park is very iconic with a gigantic pair of boots and a gigantic cowboy hat from this area a long time ago they move these to this park in Georgetown and you should check it out if you are ever in this city of Seattle

Review №39

The history of the park is just as entertaining as the giant pair of cowboy boots and the ginormous cowboy hat! Theres a community garden with plenty of no touching signs for those who are tempted. A small playground offers children time to play while the adults take photos of the huge attire.

Ox Bo park is a nice little park with a community garden, play structure, and the rescued Hat n Boots. They are a roadside attraction and landmark built in 1954 as part of a Western-themed gas station, it is billed as the largest hat and cowboy boots in America. They were featured in the movie National Lampoons Vacation in the opening credits.

Small but good community park, with a bit of history. The hat and boots was actually a gas station closer to 4th and Michigan until they built I5. The city of Seattle felt the structures were worth saving and moved them to their current location in the park.The park itself has a small play area for the kids, a few picnic tables, and a community garden.Subtracted a star as the park has no public restrooms.
