Volunteer Park

One of my favorite parks in Seattle. Beautiful panoramic views of the city from the tower. Located by the reservoir , greenhouse, and museum . Nicely maintained and lots of activities.

Don't miss Shakespeare in the park !! Wonderful place to just relax and enjoy. Be sure to see the Asian museum and the arboretum.

Good place for a sunny picnic and tennis courts . Walking distance to cafes , bars , and shops as well .

This park is home to one of Seattle's best views , a historic water tower , a conservatory built in 1912, and Seattle Asian Art Museum .

One of Seattle's best parks , right in Capitol Hill . While you're there, visit the Seattle Asian Art Museum or the Conservatory .

Beautiful park in the middle of the city . Visit the conservatory for beautiful plants, and climb the watertower for the best view .

Love this park , totally recommend climbing the water tower for a 360 view of the mountains and Seattle

You can see the entire park at the top of the observatory ! Also pretty flower conservatory you can walk through.

10/10 go to the black hole sun , whether you’re a local or not. The view of the space needle is amazing

The reservoir is good for hanging out and picnics . The water tower offers a great view .

Don't believe what others may have told you.. You CAN'T watch 4th of July fireworks from the donut statue at the park . The fireworks don't really clear the trees . You CAN however see a lovely sunset .

Climb to the top of the tower on a clear day. Or run up and down the stairs several times for a good workout.

Squirrels everywhere! My dog is in heaven

One of my best fun club Park and Playground in Seattle. Wonderful place to just relax and enjoy..

The walk up to the top of the tower is worth it. The tight staircase is super cool.

Great place for a walk or if you wanna right in your journal!

Don't go when the weather is predicting a beautiful sunny day!! Always go when the Weatherman says it's going to rain ! Lo

The tree lined paths are very comforting. Lots of joggers, if you're looking for motivation :)

I legit can call this place HOME. 12th ave and prospect st.

Get your blankets out, bring some box wine or beer and don't forget your grill.

If the weather's nice, expect tattooed shirtless guys balancing on slack lines behind the museum .

Nice Park to walk, with a museum and large area.

One of the nicest parks in the middle of the city .

Enjoy the strange juxtaposition of life (kids playing at the playground ) and death (the cemetery right through the chain link fence).

If you run your dog there and forget his water bottle, handy tip: check the south border, near prospect and 11th. There youll find a building's outdoor hose which is handily(!) unlocked

Feel the burn in your legs as you climb the historic water tower and be rewarded with a beautiful 360 view of Seattle!

Go there on a sunny day and enjoy the Sun, trees and green grass :)

Check out the conservatory and Asian Art Museum !

Beautiful park . Can't wait to explore it more thoroughly.

Climb the water tower for panoramic views

Up in the tower now. Very cool and fab views !! Thanks for the tip.

Other scenarios show that the threshold will be reached later this century. Read more

Lovely place to sit and eat.

For a serene moment go to the Conservatory

Very cool place for a lazy afternoon

Home to the Seattle Asian Art Museum and Conservatory

Really good for stargazing on clear nights.

Asian Art Museum & The Volunteer Park Conservatory are closed on Mondays

Beautiful place

Bring a water gun. For self-defense if nothing else

check out the wooden sculpted owl sitting in the tree just to the south side of the fish pond near the black doughnut !

So beautiful here. Last time here was Mark and me 15 years ago!!

Named in honor for those who served in the Spanish - American war

Giant trees and picnics

discovered a lot today about ....

walk around the neighborhoods surrounding the park , especially in spring. great houses and gardens

Ojan best was here!!!

Go find the carniverous plants in the conservatory , and then soothe your frightened spirit by looking at the orchids.

Rainbows flags be flyin'!!

Look at the Space Needle through "Black Sun" <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(sculpture"target="_blank" data-sig="fQ2OVyxQi8PNEP45SowB+VyJajA=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(sculpture</a>)
