Parsons Gardens Park
Park in Seattle, Washington, U.S.
Parsons Gardens Park (also called Parsons Memorial Garden[2]) is a 0.4-acre (0.16 ha) city park in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. It was called by Fodor's a "a prim urban oasis",[3] and by another guide a "secret garden for non-tourists".[4] The park sits at one end of West Highland Drive, across the street from Betty Bowen Viewpoint and not far from better-known Kerry Park.[5][6][7]
According to the city Parks Department and city guides by Lonely Planet and others, the location is popular for summer weddings.[8][9]
The park is a designated City of Seattle landmark.[2][10]
The location was previously the private garden of the home of Reginald and Maude Parsons since 1905. In 1956 their children donated the property to the city.[11]
