What parents say
"We only saw a small portion of the park, but we very much enjoyed what we saw. A beautiful place to come on a picnic or just sit and take in the views overlooking the water. There are plenty of orange wire chairs to relax in. This also seems like a popular place to walk your dog. We enjoyed seeing all the sculptures."

"I understand that some sculptures get their own mention on Google Review, but I think the entire park should be considered an area on display. There are sculptures all over the place ranging from neon ampersands to silver skeletal trees, fountains, massive heads, and so on, all set by the shores of Lake Elliot which itself can provide some beautiful viewing."

"A beautiful park with modern art sculptures adjacent to the Seattle Art Museum and Myrtle Edwards Park. The highlight for me is the “head” sculpture by world renowned Jaume Plensa called “Echo”. The park opens at sunrise and closes at sunset."
