A park with a view, Golden Gardens sits on the shore of Shilshole Bay and over looks the Olympic Mountains. Who would think that such a tranquil scene would be the sight of a struggle of epic proportions? Within the forests of Golden Gardens, the invasive plant English ivy is crowding out native trees and shrubs and making the survival of native seedlings extremely difficult. You can help by working with EarthCorps and Seattle Parks to dig this ivy out of the ground and by planting native trees and shrubs!
Directions:
From I-5 (Northbound or Southbound)
Take the 45th Street NE exit and head westbound on 45th St NE (towards Wallingford). Proceed through the intersection of 45th St NE and Stone Way N, veering right on N Midvale. At the stoplight/stop sign turn left on N 46th Street and follow it as it turns into N Market Street. Follow NW Market ST westbound through Ballard until it terminates where you will take a soft left on NW 54th St/ NW 54th ST becomes Seaview Ave NW. From here you will be able to see the water (Shilshole Bay) on your left. Follow Seaview AVE NW until you see the EarthCorps sign at the stop sign. Turn right and proceed under the railroad tracks to the upper parking lot (where the dog park/off leash area is located) and look for the EarthCorps table.
