"Gasworks park" Fremont Off The Beaten Path Tip by Jonathan_C

Got a hazardous waste site in the middle of a city that you don't know what to do with? Turn it into a family park! This is the short history of Gasworks park. Gasworks is an incredible juxtaposition of rusting industrial infrastructure and an incredibly beautiful view of Lake Union and downtown. Relax on kite hill and watch the kayaks, sailboats and seaplanes plying the waters of Lake Union. Or come in the evening to see the city twinkle. But don't forget, "Don't eat the dirt!"

Get there by tavelling east on the Burke Gilman trail.
