Lake Union Park officially opened September 25, 2010, on a former naval reserve center. Though I was a little disappointed on arrival—it's a very flat park with too much concrete—I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt that it was only because it's just a month old. Once the trees grows—and the sun comes out—it's sure to be a nice spot to picnic. Photo 14 of 18 in Seattle, Part One by Miyoko Ohtake
