Kinnear Park

Kinnear Park circa 1907

Kinnear Park is a 14.1-acre (57,000 m²) park on the southwest slope of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington, United States located between W. Olympic Place on the northeast, W. Mercer Place and Elliott Avenue W. on the southwest, the 9th Avenue W. right of way on the west, and the 6th Avenue W. right of way on the east. It is two-tiered, with a lawn and open space atop the cliff, and a wooded area below.

Kinnear Park is named for local real estate developer George Kinnear, who sold the land to the city for a dollar in 1889. It has been designated a Seattle landmark by the city government.
