About the Location
A Green Escape in Capitol Hill
Tucked away in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, Seven Hills Park might be small, but it offers a breath of fresh air from the urban hustle. This modest green space welcomes anyone looking for a moment of calm in the city.
The park gets its name from the seven hills Seattle was supposedly built upon - though locals still debate which exact hills make the cut in that count.
What You'll Find Here
The park keeps things simple with a nice lawn area where you can spread out a blanket, read a book, or just watch the clouds drift by. You'll come across several benches scattered throughout if you're looking for a spot to sit and take in the surroundings.
Planning a small get-together? The park's barbecue pits make this a fantastic spot for casual cookouts with friends or family without having to venture far from the neighborhood.
Growing Community
Perhaps the heart of Seven Hills Park is its thriving community garden, which operates as part of Seattle's P-Patch program. Here, neighbors tend to their own little plots, growing everything from practical veggies to colorful flowers.
The garden does more than add greenery - it creates connections between people and provides a little agricultural education for anyone curious about urban growing techniques.
A Touch of History
Keep an eye out for the seven boulders placed throughout the park - they're not just random rocks. These strategically placed stones symbolize Seattle's seven hills, adding a subtle historical touch that connects this small space to the larger story of the city.
While Seven Hills Park won't overwhelm you with its size, it offers something precious in a dense urban neighborhood: a place to reconnect with nature and community just steps away from city apartments and busy streets.
