Carkeek Park is a lovely 216-acre park located within Seattle's Broadview neighborhood, butting up against the Puget Sound's coastline near the tracks of the BNSF Railway.

The park is a relocation of Seattle's original Carkeek Park on Pontiac Bay, dedicated in 1918 at the site of present-day Magnuson Park. Beautiful maple and alder forested areas within the park are home to children's playgrounds, picnic shelters, and a wide variety of hiking trails, along with the Carkeek Park Environmental Learning Center, which strives to implement sustainability practices throughout Seattle as the result of citizen initiatives.

Several creeks run throughout the park's lands, including Pipers Creek, Venema Creek, and Mohlendorph Creek. Visitors can also access the sandy shoreline of the Puget Sound via the Railroad Foot Bridge, which provides safe crossing over the active railroad lines.
