Its a peaceful place in the city. One time I was there a woman was handing out free dinners. It also has a couple of workout stations. At night these light are seen.

Nice spot to sit and watch the vibrant neighborhood. Although it is a bit less vibrant during this pandemic.

A great place to appreciate the arts, a better place to take photos because thats what everyones doing there. The lights are obviously much better at night, since there lit and theres a no standing rule on the light posts. It will get packed there!

A great City Park with an authentic International appeal. Lots of fun activities during the day put out by wonderful Concierges. Buskers on the weekends and daily through the Summer and Winter holidays. Lots of amazing events in the Summer including the Seattle Asian American Film Festivals free movies and Seattle Parks Dancing till Dusk. The lights in the evening are also a Must see!

Isn’t that much different from many parks in Seattle, but it’s much different from the other urban parks of other states. Part of the international district it’s located at the heart of Chinatown. There’s abundance of seating and a multitude of restaurants circling the space, it’s a great park for an on the whim first date. The upkeep however hasn’t been good, there’s a bit of trash and neglection of the planters. Otherwise I would have given this location a five star review.

This place is neat for a small park. They have a bunch of activities for people who bring the proper equipment. Ping pong if you bring your ball/paddle. Checkers/chess of you bring the pieces. The aesthetics of this park are also really nice. It really captures the Chinatown vibe here.

The new addition to the park is lovely and spacious. A wonderful city escape in the International District with summer movie nights for everyone!

Bring your own pingpong paddles and ball, or a chess set or Jenga block tower. At least we can bring our take-out to this lovely park on a nice day! Improvements including a restroom are scheduled for 2021.

Hing Hay Park was a cute little area. You can hear people playing traditional chinese instruments while you play chess or take pictures of the structures and umbrellas.

It was very nice there were people playing with the large chess game. One person was playing the piano, it sounded great and another person in a different part of the park was playing an instrument one that I was not familiar with but it sounded good.

Beautiful park with a great atmosphere. Pretty small but was a very exciting event venue. Could probably be cleaned a bit better though

To many homeless. It would be 5 star because its beautiful but it seems like the homeless and drug dealers like to hang out there all day.

I enjoy being there, Chinatown ID.Its a park with park attendants and functions related to the Asian community. Little Saigon is very close by. It is very much apart of theSeattle Asian community.

Wi
Review №39

It is a small park within Chinatown. Dont expect to see a lot of greens here as it is surrounded by buildings. There is a nice Chinese pavilion where you can sit down and relax and watch people. Parking could be an issue if you have to drive there as there is no free parking and parking nearby can fill up quickly by people going to Chinatown. Also, there is no restroom/washroom/lavatory available in this park.

Nice hill side park in the International District. There is a ping pong table and a small covered pavilion. This is a good spot to meet people during events because of the large red metal sculpture, which is visible for blocks.

Review №64

While it seems odd to designate as a park a space with so little greenery, this is a good event space. It appears that electricity is available for sound systems. There is a small covered area, but most of the space is open to the elements. Since it is almost all paved with cement, it can be uncomfortable in summer. However, several design elements make this a unique space, well - integrated with its neighborhood.

Review №74

One of the worst public parks Ive ever seen. It is CEMENT masquerading as a park. Giant open cement space with no shelter from sun or rain. Rip up all that cement, put in a fountain, or trees, or gazebos, or ANYTHING other than cement and start again.

Review №76

After the remodel, its super nice and clean. The red lighting at night is a nice touch and recently Ive seen a lot of Chinatown locals just hanging out there...i.e. for outdoor movies and such. Im glad that theyve got a little park for the community here!

Br
Review №77

I want to like this park, and Im sure I will when the new, improved section is open, but as it stands right now, its not really a functional park. It would be great if there was enough seating/tables to grab a bite from one of the local restaurants and eat outside.

Dirty, Not clean at all. Beware of the huge rats at night. The restaurants usally throw trash next to their place of business. Smells really bad too.

Review №83

Central location in the International District of Seattle. Used for many festivals and gatherings throughout the year. Space is open and far enough away from the area buildings that one does not feel cramped even in large crowds. A good spot to stop and relax if the weather allows it.

This park is right next to the Chinatown gate, they have events here, places to have picnics, and even a built-in ping-pong table

Review №87

Good place to hang out in the International District and people watch or let the kids run around. Theres often random musicians performing traditional Chinese instruments. Or you can play a game of floor chess with giant pieces. Can be a little sketchy after dark.

Wi
Review №88

The new park is amazing! Lots of seating at tables and along the perimeter and a good amount of shade to get away from the sun. At night the stairs light up in wonderful acenes. During the day there is ping pong, cornhole, and exercise machines available.

I really like this park. Its historical and the community really uses it---performances, exercise, games. Its all hardscape, typical urban park. The character of the park matches its setting. I really look forward to the new expansion.
