Gas Works Park

Gas Works Park presents the equal likelihood of seeing men in kilts practicing highland dancing, eclectic Fremont-sters in an impromptu zombie gathering, or a rehearsal for an artsy outdoor pageant celebrating the lunar cycles. Here’s a park for the traveler bent on finding the creative pulse of a city.


This inspirational locale features astonishing views of downtown and Lake Union and a hilltop noted to aid in lofting that kite. Houseboats snug the shoreline, wooden dories sail along, and sea planes take off overhead of this restored coal-gas conversion industrial site.
