Oxbow Park, Urban park in Georgetown, Seattle, US.
Oxbow Park is a public park in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. It houses the Hat 'n' Boots, a landmark roadside attraction that was relocated to the park.
The park's most distinctive feature came from the 1950s when a massive cowboy hat and boots were built as part of a western-themed gas station in the area. These structures were later preserved and now stand as historical monuments within the grounds.
The park's name comes from the oxbow bend of the Duwamish River below Georgetown, and its main draw is the Hat 'n' Boots, a giant cowboy hat and pair of boots that once topped a western-themed gas station. The structures were moved here and now serve as a roadside landmark for the neighbourhood.
The park is easily accessible with adequate parking nearby and well-maintained paths suitable for visitors of all ages and abilities. Bring water and sun protection as the space has limited shaded areas in many sections.
The Hat 'n' Boots was moved to Oxbow Park rather than built there; it is a surviving roadside attraction from a western-themed gas station, now standing in a Georgetown park.
