Good place to sit and just be peaceful. Relax and enjoy the sounds of the waterfall. Plus this is where UPS was founded. More

It's ok, nothing grandly special. But it's a good place to relax in this city. More

I like that the garden is isolated and quiet. It just seems to be so peaceful and special. More

We had heard about this though did not plan on going to it. We stumbled upon it while heading to the Klondike Gold Rush Museum. A little piece of nature and peace in the middle of a city. More

We liked this minipark with its big waterfall, but it is a bit small and had quite a few people in it when we visited. Not much room to sit and enjoy. More

It's free to go inside this place, and it's a little oasis to chill with a cup of coffee on a warm day. More

This is a great place to sit and relax and drown out the noises of Seattle in the sounds of the running water.
