Overview of Kerry Park

This small viewpoint park, offering spectacular views of Elliott Bay and the Central City (and occasionally Mount Rainier), is a favorite among photographers. Sunset is an especially popular time, as the city illuminates and the Space Needle serves as a prominent night beacon. Despite its small size, you can also view the sculpture Changing Form and find a children's play area at the nearby Bayview-Kinnear Park, just below the Kerry Park viewpoint.

Visitor Experience

Recent visitors describe the views as breathtaking and recommend visiting on a clear day to fully appreciate the scenery. They also suggest being prepared for crowds, as the park attracts many people, especially during sunset.

Getting There

To reach Kerry Park, you can walk up from Lower Queen Anne. Additionally, several bus lines service the area, including the No. 2 and No. 13, providing convenient public transportation options.

Hours and Accessibility

Kerry Park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and offers free access to all visitors. For more information, visit the Seattle Parks and Recreation website.
