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

This local favorite may be recycled, but its opportunities for outdoor enjoyment are always fresh.

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.

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
