Nice park with a long loop around green lake. So many beautiful trees to stop and see, lots of activity happening on a beautiful sunny Seattle afternoon. Parking can be tricky but it’s doable with patience. A good place to go for a walk or run.

When is the best time to visit Green Lake Park (Seattle, United States)?

In summer, lifeguards staff the beaches and boat rentals run daily. In fall, watch the foliage turn gold along the loop. In winter, the park is quiet but public restrooms may close early. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom near the Community Center.
