Frink Park

Frink Park is a 17.2-acre wooded park located in the Leschi neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The park occupies a steep, densely vegetated ravine that runs from the hillside down towards Lake Washington.

Established in 1906, Frink Park was donated to the city by John M. Frink, a prominent Seattle businessman and parks commissioner. The park was designed as part of the Olmsted Brothers' comprehensive plan for Seattle's parks and boulevards system. It retains much of its original naturalistic character, with winding trails through native forest.

The park contains a network of hiking trails that meander through the wooded ravine. A small stream, Frink Creek, flows through the park, adding to its serene atmosphere. The forested setting provides habitat for local wildlife and birds.

Frink Park connects to the adjacent Leschi Park at its northwestern edge. Lake Washington Boulevard S. runs along the eastern boundary of the park, while residential streets border other sides. The park's hillside location affords some views of Lake Washington through the trees.

As a natural area, Frink Park offers visitors a chance to experience an urban forest environment within the city. Its trails and greenspace provide opportunities for activities like hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying nature. The park serves as an important green corridor and watershed protection area in this part of Seattle.
