Editorial Review for Carkeek Park – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
In 1875, builder Morgan Carteek donated 23 acres of rock-and-sand beach in Piper's Canyon north of Greenwood to the city of Seattle. Located on Lake Washington's Pontiac Bay, park facilities include soccer and softball fields, picnic tables and stove shelters. Explore a bit and you'll find an archery range and an old skid road.

User Reviews for Carkeek Park

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Ever wanted to pretend that you're filthy rich and live on acres and acres of green land, so many that you have to take a narrow, twisty road to your mansion? Then Carkeek Park is a must visit, with the charming drive ending with a beach and beautiful view of the Puget Sound. There is still some sense of remoteness in this city.

Pros: variety of landscape, picnic areas

Cons: unsafe after dark

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Smell the sea breeze, catch the glimpse of sunset, walk the woodsy trails... It's all there at Carkeek.
