I need to find a park in Seattle. I lived there for about 6 or 7 years and then i moved to Utah. I don't remember where the parks were exactly, i was young. So name (or describe) a few parks that are the closest to the Space Needle please. This is for my high school choir tour in April, i want to be prepared if the teacher asks if we should go to a park and have fun and do games. Curious question: I'm originally from Kent/Maple Valley, Washington. I moved from Kent to Maple Valley and then to Utah. Anyone here from Kent or Maple Valley?

I was living in Tukwila, which is close to Kent... moved to AZ. Seattle has soooo many parks. Discovery park is one of my favorites. When it comes to parks close to the Space Needle, I think of Gasworks Park. Great for kite flying, weddings, picnics, etc. In the picture (see link), the sky is blue. Don't let that fool anyone... it's a rarity.

The Olympic Sculpture Park, http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/visit/osp/, an outdoor sculpture park that is a part of (though not connected to) the Seattle Art Museum is one of the best parks with amazing artwork and sweeping views of the Puget Sound, just minutes walking from the Space Needle. Denny Park is just a couple blocks away, but isn't so breathtaking, though it's been recently cleaned up more and more. The Seattle Center grounds are very much like a park in a lot of areas and you can hang out at the International Fountain, the Center House, the Fun Forest Amusement Park (complete with rides/games/video games)! Not from Kent/Maple Valley, but I did look at condos in the area a couple years ago, haha...
