User Reviews for Green Lake

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Greenlake is a fantastic place to go. Walk, rollerblade, bike, run, or crawl around the almost 3 mile path that circles the lake and unless it's late at night or pouring down rain, you won't be alone (and even then, you probably won't be alone). It is a popular park for all of these activities as well as having a "kiddie" wading pool, areas to throw around the frisbee/baseball/volleyball/etc., and space to just play around. The summertime finds this park crowded with visitors planning to walk around the lake, boat on the lake (there's a rental place for little boats), and otherwise enjoy outdoor activities/sports at this cherished park.

Pros: Great walking/biking path around the lake, lots of activities to enjoy

Cons: Parking may be difficult if you don't know where to look

Everyone loves green lake. It's a great park. You can go there and walk, bike, rollerblade, jog around the lake. Rentals for the most part are reasonable. You can also play frisbee or other games on the grass. There's also a great playground for kids. The only downside is that it's not the best swimming because there's advisories at least once each summer..because of algae blooms caused by ducks. Besides that, it's an excellent park..and the water is pretty to look at.

Pros: Great park, good place to get exercise

The best park in Seattle, no question....one of the few flat places to rollerblade but beware of foot traffic in the wheel lanes

Hands down, this is the best place in Seattle to jog, hang out, walk, take kids or dogs, or just relax. It's gorgeous, clean, safe and beautiful.

Half the fun of walking around Green Lake is people watching. Plus, the paved path of 2.8 miles makes for a perfect workout.

Pros: Paved walking path, Lake views

Cons: Crowded at prime time

I love running around greenlake. It is peaceful and beautiful. It is a good place to talk and walk with friends. There is a lot you can do here, including playing sports, hanging out at the playground, and going on the lake in the paddle boats...good times.

When the sky is blue and clear, there is no better place to enjoy outside than at Greenlake. You can come here for a walk, job, to bike, or to rollerblade. It does get crowded, but can you blame the people. They are doing the same as you are- Enjoying a beautiful day.

Pros: bike/jog/skate path, scenery, people watch
