Homer Harris Park

It would be a stretch to call this a park. I think of it as an adequate green space. It is like the size of one lot. There is no parking as the homes and apartments nearby take up the majority of the spaces. Couple of benches with tables and not a lot of shade. No playground or any amenities at this location.

Beautiful and fairly intimate, small, quiet park with gorgeous views of the Cascade Mountains and Lake Washington. Most people use it as an off leash area just for their dogs...it's not! No toys, just a few statues so there are less kids running around, playing and screaming and laughing. Nice place to sit and read or write in or just enjoy the sun/weather. ****disclosure**** The back "wall/border" of the park is nothing but sun ripened blackberry bushes galore! So it's a beautiful, tranquil Park and tasty too!!!!😉😎💙💚

Not sure how long that couch will stay there, but it's the best thing this park had going for it this evening, according to me anyway. Seriously, features like that are too often treated as blight when they really do add to the public experience. Comfortable places to sit and relax outside in a public space, radical i know. Ive always WANTED to like this Homer Harris park but never spent any time because it feels uncomfortable somehow. A place to pass through maybe, picnic in the sun I'm sure for those in the neighborhood. But it was much different to be able to sit comfortably, without expectations for a moment, and gather my thoughts without without urgency for once. Now assuming this couch doesn't turn out to be riddled with bedbugs or have some other misfortunate origin, it is an awesome, low key refuge from the urban expectation of goal-oriented business in public.

Love it so much I got involved helping landscape until Seattle parks department can get a levy passed to fund an adequite staff to supplement there overworked employees. This park is a gem the art and statues are fantastical fyi can be kind of intimidating for small children and grown men ie: me alike. They are accurate representations of the subject matter will leave that as explanation enough so you can discover and learn as I did. Also the parks namesake were pillars if this great community as well highly recommend researching. Park is beautifully laid out it has a path a play area benches a bbq and lots of open grass to sit and enjoy the view. This is a neighborhood park that should be a destination activity as it is so original interesting and fun. The energy of this on block patch of park is so neat that it feels like you notice something new with each visit.. F.Y.I. lots of locals use it as off leash play area for there pups so if skittish stay away in the early morning or late afternoon.

Good for running your dog around for some exercise-if you live nearby- but no amenities. No bathrooms. No play ground equipment for kids. One picnic table. Don't go out of your way to visit this park.
