About

Walking map   

Cal Anderson Park is the hub of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. It is located in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, just southeast of the Sound Transit Light Rail station. Cal Anderson Park includes a fountain, texture pool and reflecting pool, promenade paths, landscaping, a shelterhouse, a plaza, a children's play area, a wading pool, a lighted sports field, and a number of oversize chess boards. This open park invites walking, sitting, reading, contemplation, informal sports in the meadow, and organized sports on the athletic field.

The north end of the park has the start of The AMP: Aids Memorial Pathway. Download the AMP Augmented Reality app for interpretation of the installation.


For walkers: the circumference of the park on the sidewalks, including Bobby Morris Playfield, is 3,325 lineal feet, or about 2/3 of a mile. An interior loop on gravel paths, using the old concrete gatehouse as the most southern edge and passing the cone water feature to the north, is 1,700 lineal feet, or about 1/3 of a mile.
