Westlake Park

Westlake Park lies in the heart of the downtown shopping district. It's the perfect spot to take a break and admire the fountain, or watch shoppers as they visit the Westlake Mall and the surrounding retail stores.

Uninspired. Christmas tree has entire sections unlit and a huge unattractive barrier around it loaded with ads. The lights on many trees don't work. Macy's star is awesome as always

Vivian

Features: ping pong tables and a fun playground climbing structure !

Matthias

Small park in the middle of the city with loads of games - chess , ping pong , giant jenga , etc... ???? Really good to kill a few minutes of waiting time. ????

Madewell's Denim Roadtrip will be at Westlake Park on 5/19/12 between 12-5pm. Stop by for some very special surprises, including a styling station, a hair-braiding bar and a secret deal.

From the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas , ride the holiday carousel and look at the giant Macy's star and the huge Westlake Christmas tree .

Daniel Conroy

Great place for lunch . Always 5-6 food trucks and lots of tables.

Jeiran Hasan

Nice plate to sit and people watch . They have a playground area for kids and some fountains

Amy Robertson

The pretzel truck here on the weekend is amazing

Tiffany Wong

Great place to have lunch on a sunny day in the middle of DT Seattle. Be careful of bums. They are harmless, but all want your attention

Trevor Flowers

There are few other public spaces in Seattle where people from all neighborhoods mingle. Enjoy the mix!

Kenneth Penttinen

There's a giant metal ball sunk in the ground that the kids of today refer to as "teh pwn". Sunken metal balls are fun right?

Steven Haber

If being assaulted by crazies is your idea of good time, you'll probably love this park .

Jay Ervin

There's a shopping center and Starbucks and some other places that are good to hangout.

From here to can catch a bus to just about anywhere in Seattle.

Challenge the chess guys in the summer. But demand that they play on a time limit of 1:00 min total to play, with a clock.

Great for protests!

If you get a job you suddenly become part of the 1%.
