Carkeek Park is a spacious 216-acre park in Seattle's Broadview neighborhood, located along the city's Puget Sound coastline along the railroad tracks of the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway. Seattle's first park named Carkeek Park was located at the site of present-day Magnuson Park, located along the city's Pontiac Bay. The present-day Carkeek Park is a relocation of the old park, home today to lovely alder and maple forest areas and a wide variety of visitor amenities, including day-use picnic shelters, children's playgrounds, and a number of hiking trails.

Visitors can access the park's beachfront directly via its Railroad Foot Bridge or stroll alongside the banks of several creeks, including Venema, Pipers, and Mohlendorph Creeks. Other features include the Carkeek Park Environmental Learning Center, which focuses on the implementation of sustainability practices throughout Seattle's parks.
