Marvin's Garden is a quiet oasis across the street from Bergen Place Park in Ballard. Its five benches on a stone-embedded concrete patio are surrounded by cedar trees, shrubbery, and flowers in planters. It is also the site of the red brick Ballard Centennial Bell Tower.
22nd Ave. NW & Ballard Ave. NW Seattle , WA 98107 United States
The bell in the bell tower at Marvin's Garden was just restored through the efforts of a group of neighborhood activists, after a decade's long period of it being inoperable.
Marvin's Garden is a tiny little park at the corner of Ballard Avenue and 22nd Avenue NW. Here's an early morning picture with the park 's bell tower reflected in a puddle of rainwater.
Go here after visiting Atlantic Ave. & Ventnor Ave.

Walk any direction from here to find great food. And rest here to take a breather when you are stuffed. - Eden Ess
The view from the top of the needle is priceless and worth every cent. Some people have lived here too long and are spoiled by the beauty of Seattle. Don't take it for granted. - Ben Costa
Customer service here is super nice! Great spot to do some reading, writing or work. Really enjoyed the blueberry hibiscus tea on ice. - Jennifer Burlington
