Location: Queen Anne
Address: 12th Ave. W. and W. Howe St.
Acreage: 1.1

This park’s best feature is that it provides a handy link for foot traffic between 15th Ave. W. in Interbay and upper Queen Anne. A couple of short sets of stairs bring you up through the dense vegetation to a quiet little neighborhood.

If you take the stairs too quickly, you may miss the slide and sandbox to the left. Both are a bit worn out, but
the slide may be fun for kids to check out.

A fun walk is to take W. Howe St. all the way up the hill to the large West Queen Anne Playfield close to the center of all the action on Queen Anne. The walk is about three-quarters of a mile, but you’ll feel the steep incline in your legs and lungs.
