Located in Northwest Seattle, Carkeek Park is one of the city's premier natural areas. There are trails for hiking, amazing views of Puget Sound, and meadows for picnics. Carkeek Park is also home to Piper's Creek, an important waterway for spawning salmon.

Come join EarthCorps and Seattle Parks and Recreation/Green Seattle Partnership (GSP) as we work to keep Carkeek Park healthy and happy! We will be planting native trees, shrubs and ground cover, removing harmful invasive plant species like English ivy, and performing restoration site maintenance.

Directions

From I-5, take the Northgate Way Exit. You will be heading west, away from the Northgate Mall. Northgate Way becomes 105th Ave N. Take a right onto Greenwood Ave. Then take a left on 110th St. Follow 110th and Carkeek Park signs until you run into Carkeek Park. Follow the EarthCorps signs to the lower parking lot on your left.
