Fodor's Review:
Though technically in Wallingford, this lovely park can be easily reached from Fremont Center by strolling along the waterfront Burke-Gilman Trail -- remember to stay in the clearly designated pedestrian lane, as you'll be sharing the trail with many other walkers, joggers, and speed-demon bicyclists. The park gets its name from the hulking remains of an old gas plant, which, far from being an eyesore, actually lends some character to the otherwise open, hilly, 20-acre park. Get a good view of Downtown Seattle from the zodiac sculpture at the top of the hill, or feed the ducks on the lake. The sand-bottom playground has monkey bars, wooden platforms, and a spinning metal merry-go-round. Crowds throng to picnic and enjoy outdoor summer concerts, movies, and the Fourth of July fireworks display over Lake Union.
