Sunset Hill Park

Panoramic Views

This 2.7-acre park offers stunning panoramic views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and Shilshole Bay Marina.

Perched atop a 300-foot bluff, visitors enjoy a prime vantage point for spectacular sunsets, hence the park's name. The vegetation along the bluff is kept trimmed to preserve the expansive outward-looking views.

Park Features

Sunset Hill Park features a strip of grass between the street and the edge of the bluff, extending for a couple of city blocks.

Visitors can often be seen relaxing on benches, having picnics, or simply taking in the scenery. The park is particularly busy during sunset hours, attracting both locals and tourists.

Activities

The park's location makes it an excellent place for boat watching, as visitors can observe vessels heading out into Puget Sound from Salmon Bay and the nearby marina.

On clear days, one can see as far as the beach point and lighthouse of Discovery Park to the south.

Neighborhood Retreat

Located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Sunset Hill Park serves as a tranquil oasis in the urban landscape.

While relatively small in size, it offers a peaceful retreat for those seeking to connect with nature and enjoy some of Seattle's most impressive vistas.
