Oxbow Park, Urban park in Georgetown, Seattle, US.
Oxbow Park is an urban park in Georgetown featuring walking trails, picnic areas, and children's play spaces set among mature trees and open green space. The park provides multiple zones for outdoor recreation and community gatherings throughout all seasons.
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 features the preserved Hat and Boots structures, which have become recognizable local landmarks that define the neighborhood's identity over many decades.
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 and Boots structures are considerably larger than most visitors expect and originally came from a gas station landmark from an era when oversized roadside attractions defined local landscapes. Today these unusual monuments represent one of the few remaining examples of this style of quirky commercial architecture still standing in the region.
