Thorndyke Park

A Quiet Green Getaway

Located in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood, Thorndyke Park might be small in size, but it delivers big on tranquility. This pocket-sized green space provides a peaceful retreat from city life with some lovely views.

A simple walking path winds through the park, well-suited for a quick morning stroll or when you just need a moment to clear your head in nature without venturing far from home.

Views Worth The Visit

Let's talk about what really makes this park special - the stunning panoramic vistas. Peek through the trees and you'll be rewarded with sweeping views of downtown Seattle, majestic Mount Rainier, and the shimmering waters of Puget Sound. The park's elevated position means you're getting premium Seattle scenery without the premium crowds.

It's the kind of spot where you can sit quietly, take in the cityscape, and maybe snap a few photos that'll make your social media friends a bit jealous.

Your Neighborhood Nature Fix

Getting to Thorndyke is a breeze thanks to its location right next to bus lines. No car? No problem.
