Marshall Park is a small viewpoint on Queen Anne Hill at 1191 7th Ave W, with open views across Puget Sound and the surrounding greenery. Come for a quiet pause on one of its few benches, or watch the light change at sunset. On a clear day, binoculars can help you pick out Bainbridge Island, Vashon Island and Bremerton; you may also see ferries and other ships on the water. Parsons Garden is just across the street, and Kerry Park is nearby.
Views across Puget Sound
Marshall Park is a compact viewpoint on Queen Anne Hill. Its few benches face the water and surrounding greenery, making it a place to pause rather than a park with a long list of activities.
On a clear day, binoculars can help you make out Bainbridge Island, Vashon Island and Bremerton. Ferries and other ships cross the Sound, while the distant mountains and changing light give the view a different feel through the day. The park is also a spot for watching sunsets and, at times, the moon or rainbows.
Pair it with a nearby walk
Parsons Garden is directly across the street, so the two small green spaces are easy to visit together. Kerry Park is also nearby. One suggested route is to see the changing evening light at Kerry Park, then continue to Marshall Park for sunset over the water.
The park is reached by walking through the Queen Anne neighborhood, and the route can involve a climb. Wear suitable footwear. With limited benches and a small viewing area, Marshall Park works best as a brief stop on a neighborhood walk or bike ride.
