What People Are Saying About Gasworks Park
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Kids gravitate to the graffiti-splashed play barn of pipes, cogs and engines--rusty leftovers from the gas plant's 1906 beginnings. Kayakers glide to the rocky shoreline for picnics, while land lubbers spread out blankets for picnics or watch seaplanes taking off from or touching down on Lake Union. Cyclists, runners and walkers meet here to start workouts on the Burke-Gilman Trail. The large, windy hill in the middle is a kite-lover's paradise.

Good park
by kee22
Gas Works is a good park. At first, I really thought the whole pipes thing was a little strange..I guess I still think that, but it doesnt bother me as much. The sundial is cool. Besides the pipes, it's still a great park to go walking. Also, it's a good place to watch fireworks if you can stand the crowds
- Pros: Good park, popular place to watch fireworks

nice view of seattle
by amyrules
I love coming here at night and looking at the city. It's a good date place, you can come and talk and walk around. Even "big kids" love playing on the colorful pipes. Such a pretty place.
- Pros: great view
- Cons: icky bathrooms
