Ella Bailey Park

i’ve had such good experiences in this place, i sparked here, hung out with friends here, stargazed here. really nice view to the city, always calm at night, whenever it’s warm people usually come out and grill and have a bbq, bunch of kids running around. great place to take your girl out. good place to talk. good place to think. eat lunch here. it’s a good place, and none of that hood shit. it’s so calm. cautious neighbors always. real nice place

Candidate for “the best” Seattle park, tucked away on the east slope of Magnolia with sweeping views of the city and Elliot Bay. Nothing beats this on a Sunny day! Great playground areas, two picnic areas, two basketball hoops (half courts), lots of grass for sports, and a paved circular track for walking/riding.

Gorgeous view at this huge park. There are 3 different play structures, swings, and a basketball hoop. Plus a little loop for kids to ride their bikes around a wide grassy area. There was plenty of street parking on a Thursday afternoon, but I imagine it may fill up a bit on the weekend.

A beautiful park with children play area, large ground, basketball area, path for cycling, benches for picnic. Remains open from 4AM TO 11PM. Street parking is available. Stunning views of Queen Anne, Seattle downtown, sea, Space needle.

Fun little park on the south east side of Magnolia. Sweeping views of Queen Anne hill, some of Downtown Seattle and the port. Great place to watch 4th of July fireworks. You can see the top of the Space Needle from here as well. On clear days you can even see the snow topped Mount Rainier. They have several picnic tables, a few public grills, a few kids playground areas and a few basketball 1/2 courts. No parking lot, but there is street parking quite abundantly available. Near bus stops. No public restroom, but I have seen a few porta-potties there lately.
