Stayed here on a weeknight and was the only overnighter there. Really Great quiet safe spot close to Trader Joe's, shops, etc.

super place, calme et proche du centre ville (30 min à pieds) parfait pour visiter Seattle. nous sommes restés 1 nuit et il y avait plusieurs VR.

extremely family centric park so very safe. although the weekend evenings called in some drunken college kids with no care for their disturbances. has a porta potty and is super walkable to trader joes and local cafes. everyone was smiles and kindness but be wary of staying on the playground side of the park. a woman knocked on my door to yell at me for parking next to it despite my efforts to reason with her. (it's the most level of the streets) if you do park there, move further away in the early morning.

Fairly quiet street parking by a park with ball fields. Only a couple other vans and/or cars. Stayed 2 nights, arrived after dark, left early, food within walking, great place to pass thru and sleep…not a hangout.

Amazing spot by the park. As advertised. A little bit of street and overhead plane noise but not too bad. Felt very safe.

We stayed here for 3 nights in an obvious, rented 25' RV without any issues. Felt safe and everyone we met was both smiling and friendly.

Lots of life in the park and in walking distance of bus stops connecting to both Fremont and Downtown. We walked all the way to downtown as well, however you might want to take the bus back to avoid the incline.

No traffic so very quiet at night. Just be aware that the surrounding streets are quite narrow, and with vehicles parked on both sides, we had some nerve-racking situations being 10' wide.

I originally went to Kerry Park instead as one of the users had suggested down below, but it was SO busy. I was there from around 5-10 (on a Saturday in January), and the noise from cars, people, and city noise was a LOT. Finally ended up moving here and so far it is much much quieter. The view at Kerry park is beautiful but no need to stay there- unless maybe it’s a week night and super dead.

Nice quiet park as described. Bathrooms were moved to north side, and there were trash and recycling bins. Not very level but I slept like a rock. There was one drunk man at the baseball field when I stepped out to go to the bathroom before bed, but he kept to himself and I was unbothered. I would stay again.

Great location. We stayed for 2 nights with no problems whatsoever.
We parked on the west side. Very quiet and clean area. There’s a porta potty on the north side, on the corner. We even showered at the pool facilities nearby.
There were other two small RVs (like ours).
It’s within walking distance of loads of cafes and restaurantes and supermarket.
And also walked to downtown from here and it’s super close to Kerry park (for views).

I’ve stayed here 2-3 times when traveling through Seattle, and it’s probably one of the places I feel safe in the loud city. Definitely recommend, but please keep it clean and be respectful of the space + people so we can keep it :)

Great spot. I have had difficulty finding places in seattle where the roads were wide enough for my skoolie (8 feet wide, 20 feet long). This park was a great stop. Felt extremely safe here; and no one bothered me. Will probably end up staying here for a few more days. GREAT spot to be that’s close to downtown.

Super cool neighbourhood. Spent two nights there. You can park there all day too. A bit of a walk to downtown Seattle but doable, otherwise bus will take you there in 15mn. Really close to Molly Moon’s Ice Cream!

As previously noted, Queen Anne is a great neighborhood. Big Howe is walkable to Kerry Park to see great views although I would prefer to stay here because it is quieter. Felt very safe

Stayed here 2 nights, had no issue! Nice neighborhood. Quiet between 12 am-6am. Don’t expect to much, regular street parking.

Planeamos quedarnos aquí pero encontramos el Kerry Park un poco al sur con una increíble vista de la ciudad. Dormimos ahí al final de la calle para evitar el ruido de lps carros que llegan a tomar fotos de la vista de la ciudad. Noche calmada. Internet lento 2 barras Verizon.

We planned to stay here but found the Kerry park a bit south with an amazing view of the city. Slept there at the end of the street to avoid traffic noise for people coming to take pictures of the view. Worth it. Very calm. Slow 2 bars Verizon.

Stayed here for a night. Had no issues. Quiet except for some street traffic in the morning. Nice neighborhood near a bunch of stuff.

scoped it out and let our dog play on the park but did not stay.

very nice area, seems quiet. street is narrow and or RV would stick out, but would not block traffic flow. street has a bit of a slant to it and it's not level by any means

great location, next to sportsground. Bit of a noise from football training. But gave us a " homely"-feeling. Stayed 2 nights with our truckcamper, saw 1 other Van. Didn't stay during daytime.

November 8th, 2021 by lidybosker

great place near sportsfield. Close to downtown very steep drive

Stayed at the south side near the portapotty toilet. Very quiet. No issues. Beautiful location close to city centre.

We spend a night her without any problems. 7pm to 7am is free after that 2 hour parking.

July 31st, 2019 by freespiritcoelhos

We parked for the day and walked to pike market ( must do great food, vibe). Walking is involved for about 50 minutes one way and it’s hilly so good exercise. Didn’t stay overnight. Road is tight squeeze for 9 feet Wide so we left. Watch for tree branches. Only porta potties and lots of kids.

Tennagers at the park pretty late but good Seattle place to sleep

We crashed here for 1 night in our converted mini-van and had a lovely night. The park is beautiful and the neighbourhood is so cute. A bit noisy - but that doesn't bother us. Lovely to have toilets onsite. We spotted another Vanlifer on the street. Would highly recommend!

Back for a night. I see two other vans parked on this street for the night.

July 4th, 2018 by sidburgess

Street parking on the west side of the park, under very large trees. Stayed there off and on more than 10 days total. Nearly every night we've seen at least one other camper (all passenger vehicles, vans, etc. no RVs). Portapotty is on the south side of the park.

This place is quiet and Queen Anne is an amazing neighborhood for exploring urban Seattle.
