The PlayGarden is CLOSED Monday-Thursday 9:15am-1:45pm during our Summer Camp programs.
The PlayGarden is OPEN TO VISIT Monday-Thursday AFTER 1:45pm and all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday dawn-dusk.
On Friday and Saturday mornings from 9:30am-1:30pm we have our Free Play program happening. This is a time when the garden is open to the public to visit. We have two staff members working to welcome your family to the garden, help you visit with the animals, answer your questions and help you enjoy the garden. Learn more about Free Play here.
There is access to a public bathroom on the south side of the Garden House. It’s maintained by Seattle Parks & Recreation, and may be locked. There is accessible load and unload parking in front of the main gate.
When visiting, please be respectful and a good steward of the garden. ALWAYS close the gate when you come or go for the safety of all children visiting.
Please do not feed the animals, throw grass or rocks in the duck pond- it clogs. The plants, fruits and vegetables are growing for our garden to table Summer Camp programs. Please watch your children in the garden and limit their harvesting.
The PlayGarden’s mission is to provide a space for children with disabilities. If your family is able to enjoy another park or playground, we ask that you consider a different venue so that families with disabilities have the PlayGarden available. If the garden becomes crowded with parties it can become less accessible to many of our families with children with disabilities.
While we do not reserve or rent the indoor or outdoor space for private events, you are welcome to have your party outdoors, on a first come first serve basis if it meets Seattle Parks guidelines. https://www.
