The other of my two favorite new discoveries, Trolley Hill Park sits on the eastern edge of Queen Anne Hill and feels like a secret hideaway.
It doesn’t look like much from the busy street, but once you get into the park you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find great views, picnic tables, a p-patch, a little play area built out of natural materials and a peaceful circle of benches, each dedicated in someone’s memory.
Best of all, take the steep wooden steps down into the greenbelt and you’ll find trails that connect to nearby Maclean Park.
