This park has an amazing view of Mt Ranier- which is hard to find because of all the trees in the area! The park is clean and has a nice swinging bench as well. Only negative is that it is a very small park and surrounded by houses with a decently noisy road below. I definitely recommend it for the view, though! You can see the Puget Sound and capital building as well.

A beautiful view of downtown Olympia, the old brewery neighborhood, Capitol Lake, the Capitol Building, the Salish Sound and more. A simple fenced walk-up landing/lookout with a chest table and a swinging bench - nothing more - nestled into the Tumwater Hill neighborhoods. Simple and lovely.

Nice little park. Great views of our beautiful Puget Sound landscape. Viewing area was recently upgraded and it looks very nice. 10/10 will visit again.

Great little park with an amazing view of Olympia! On a clear day, you can see the capitol building all the way to Mt. Rainier.

Great place for any visitor! Serenity among the capital of our state!

Fantastic view overlooking Olympia and the capital building! Great place to social distance and hang out with friends during this pandemic

First visit in long time and made into a park that looks over the sound was beautiful. MT. Rainer on right and Capitol in front. Great for photo ops

Amazing place for a view on a clear day. Shoot even on a not so clear day its a great place to go take a visit and just decompress from the worries of life for a minute.This post brought to you by the #23

Very small nice park with a gorgeous overview of the city

Great view of Rainier. Killer!! The overlook is in a housing development in Tumwater Falls, which was not at all what I expected, but beautiful and kind of quirky.

Fantastic views of Olympia and the mountain! I only gave it four instead of five stars because its tiny and you really cant do any walking around. Its meant for people to come and enjoy the view, which is totally worth it!

Small but what a panoramic view

Its a small picnic area more than a park. The park is bordered by three separate housing developments, all of which are priced for upwardly mobile incomes. This park is best visited alone or with small dogs. Its a good spot for thinking or crying.

Great views on clear days.

Awesome place for a picnic with an amazing view.

For anywhere other than say the Grand Canyon, best view left, right, center - the full view scope!!

A great park to visit

Come here in the AM when the sky is gorgeous to take pictures!

Great views of Rainier and downtown.

Great view of downtown Olympia from up here!

This place has the best view of the South sound! Panoramic from the Olympics to Mount Rainier. Not really a park, per se, but a nice place for beautiful views

Nice view maybe the nicest in olympia

You can see the capitol, capitol lake, and the mountain ranges. Its a great place to take pictures.

Short little walk up a concrete ramp. There is a large seated swing and two picnic tables with chess/checkerboards on each of them. The view is pretty good. Great shot of the capital building.

Really pretty views make sure you have at least front wheel drive

Never come here!!! its my spot!! you cant have it!

You know when youre driving up in the mountains and you see the sign that says Scenic View Next Right? Thats what this park is. Its the highest point in the area, and when its not cloudy/foggy it gives a very nice view of downtown Olympia. Mainly you can see the waterfront, and the capital building. Its also a good spot to see the fireworks shows in the area (the valley in 4th of July, and capital lake on the last day of lake fair every year).The park itself is small with a ~6 spot parking lot. There is a short path to the top where there is a small table with a built in chess board(byop), and a nice swinging bench that faces the view.This park is a nice scenic view when the weather is clear, and nothing else.

It had great views before it was swamped with multistorey apartments.Not bad, but a disappointment for those who knew it before.

Nice view!

While Im sad that this park is no longer surrounded by trees... the new tables and bench swing are a nice addition.

I love this place have come here multiple times with the girlfriend sat and watched the sunset beautiful area freshly redone

Very nice place to get a birds eye view!

One of the best views of Olympia and surrounding mountains. Unfortunately you have to look over some ugly apartments.

Newly upgraded with ramps on other side of parking. Also has swing.

Beautiful view

Park is like being in someones back yard. Great view of the Capital though.

Simple park but great view

Nice views.

Great place to take your date to!

My favorite spot to spend a quiet lunch hour on a hectic day at work.

Litterally got there and some cop pulled up right after us and didnt leave till we did LMAO

They just put in a swing, its pretty cool.

Amazing views of Mt Rainier, the capitol building, the Puget Sound, and the Olympics.

Not much of a park, per se, but worth checking out for the views.

Love this place

A lovely small park with a walking trail. please clean up after your dogs, large and small.

Clear sunny day with a great view of Mt Rainier and the Capital. Other than that not much.

Cozy park has great views

I personally did not enjoy my visit. The whole area of the park is very small. It seems as though the parking lot is bigger than the park itself. The picnic table area usually has a large collection of cigarette butts. It still deserves at least 3 stars for the gorgeous view, though!

Still under construction, cant wait for it to be finished though. The view will be AMAZING!

Nice area to drink your coffee in the morning. On a clear day you can see the capitol building. Scenic.

Its a pleasant, quiet place to go during the day, but if you show up after sunset, people pull into the parking lot just to smoke pot and leave, and didnt even smell like good weed.

Love the view on a clear day, its smazing..

The view was nice but was alittle foggy and rainy.

Amazing View!

What a fabulous place to celebrate the sunrise. Beautiful!

Gorgeous views

Wonderful

So pretty yet simpleYou can see so muchIt’s a simple short walkPicnic tables and quietKids like rolling down the hill

Best place in Olympia to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Beautiful views!

Beautiful outlook

This place is just tucked into a neighbourhood, but has a beautiful view of the city.

Beautiful views

Nice comfortable place

Great anatomic vista of the area. Striking

Its a great place to check out the view of Mt Rainier on the hill, I also like to go here for the location as it looks delightful for the photoshoots Ive done here.

Great view and spot to watch fireworks or to be for the 4th of July. Can see really far like almost Tacoma.

Great place to see the view, but it seems like people hook up there for drugs and no playground.

Very nice place to spend an evening. Better if not very windy.

Although overlook is a small park, it offers amazing views of the whole city, rainier, the Capitol, and the cascades. One of the best views in Olympia

Absolutely gorgeous view!

Great views of the Puget Sound nestled up against Olympia as well as the dome of the state capital, as well as a large amount of landmass i.e. Acreage in and around Olympia.

Great view of town, not much else though, just a couple picnic benches.

Small neighborhood park. We used it for a training event but didnt feel comfortable leaving any gear unattended because it seems like a hang out for drug users (could have been the tweekers hanging out at the tables).

A great spot to view the city, bay, and mountains on a clear day. A few picnic tables and nice lit path complete the experience.

Fabulous view. Simple little park, but it has two tables and enough space for a nice picnic. Beautiful.

It must be called over look because it overlooks Apartments

Great view of the South Sound.

Best view of the Olympia area.

Just a nice view but thats it

People need to pick up after their animals needs cameras

It has a gorgeous view of so much of Olympia and Tumwater. I wouldnt call it much of a park though.

Flawless breathtaking view

Great view of mt Rainier on a clear day!
