Tips

Gas Works Park was developed on the site of a former coal gasification plant on the shores of Lake Union, directly across from downtown Seattle. In 1965, the city purchased the 19-acre tract for parkland. The park, with its Great Earth Mound peak, was opened to the public ten years later (constructed from on-site excavated material). The location provides unsurpassed views of the lake and metropolitan skyline. The boiler house was converted into a picnic shelter with tables and fire grills, while an old exhauster-compressor structure was turned into an open-air play barn with a maze of brightly painted machinery for kids. In 2013, the Gas Works Park was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

A popular central location with a great view of downtown Seattle to the south. Best part is the kite-flying hill, which you will want to walk (not bike) up. A big playground and decent bathrooms, too. Packed with people in the summer, and especially for the fireworks celebrations at 4th of July and New Years Eve. Good spot to start/end a ride.
