Place Description:
This little park has some of the most awesome views of The City from "the ground". The photos here do not do the real views justice. It's gorgeous, especially in the summer months like this.
Ahead and down below is an older, little-known playground and grass field.
Individual View Descriptions:CenterViewPoint, facing SE:
- Zoom in to see downtown Seattle, which is just 5 min from here.
