Parsons Gardens Park

Parsons Gardens Park is a small neighborhood park in Queen Anne that centers on a grassy lawn surrounded by planted flower beds and shrubs. A gravel pathway winds through the space, connecting seating areas shaded by trees.

The site originated as a private garden created by Reginald and Maude Parsons in the early 1900s. The family's descendants later transferred ownership to Seattle, transforming it into public green space for the neighborhood.

The gardens serve as a wedding venue where local couples exchange vows surrounded by planted beds and flowering shrubs, making it a gathering place for neighborhood celebrations.

The park sits at Highland Drive and 7th Avenue in Queen Anne with street parking available nearby. Shaded seating areas provide relief on warm days, and the paved walkway accommodates different types of visitors throughout the year.

The park features accessible pathways designed to accommodate wheelchair users, allowing everyone to navigate the gardens and reach all seating areas without barriers. This thoughtful design makes it welcoming for visitors with varying mobility needs.
