I knew the opening today would be active and frenzied, which negates the serenity that a park provides, but I can’t wait to come back after the initial wave of hype dies down. As for the art, it’s sparsely distributed, so I wouldn’t come here hoping to see a huge amount of art, but I would come here to escape to a really beautiful park that happens to have some nice outdoor art, and the best views of downtown Seattle, the mid Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains.

BUT.. If you’re really into outdoor art, the best place I’ve been to is the Westcott Bay Sculpture Park in San Juan Island near Roche Harbor.
