What People Are Saying About Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park

In Short – The more-than-53-acre strip draws thousands each year not only to the stuff you'd expect from an upstanding community park (picnic tables, tennis and sand volleyball courts, and lovely lawns), but also for the unexpected. A stroll down the hidden boardwalk to the north includes interpretive panels focusing on local plants and birds. You'll also find food options--Ivar's Seafood Bar and Kidd Valley.

Good park

by kee22

Coulon is a good park to walk or run by the waterfront. It's also a good place to sit on one of the benches to reflect. For the most part, it is quiet (other than summer). You can watch the boats go by or watch the birds and other animals. The food there is ok. During the summer, there's good places to sunbathe and swim. Also, it is a good place to watch fireworks. The fireworks display might be smaller at this location, but it is still good...and not as crowded as the Seattle one. However, it is still hard to find parking during the fireworks show.

  • Pros: Good park, good place to watch fireworks

Gene Coulon Not Dog Friendly

by marileev

I'm rather upset that the Gene Coulon Park entry hasn't been updated by Seattle City Search staff. Based on the "dog friendly" rating I took my yorkies there (05.29.06) and found no pet signs all the way through the park's northern end. I think this could be a wonderful coexisting space for people & dogs (a la seward park) if no-scooping fines are posted. For now, me & my pups will drive from our home in Renton to the Seattle Parks like Seward, Volunteer and Magnuson.

  • Pros: water-walks, nice views, fishing
  • Cons: crowded in the summer, not dog-friendly
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
