We strongly recommend that before you choose a park, you visit the site so you are familiar with how the park looks and with the location you have in mind for your event. The Special Event Scheduler will provide you with the name and telephone number of the gardener or other staff person responsible for the maintenance of the park. Fees and charges are necessary to provide financial support for the operation of parks and recreation facilities, and are approved by the City Council by ordinance. For fees at indoor sites, please call the facility you are interested in. We accept all major credit cards, checks and cash.
Fees are non-refundable.
S. Hidden in southeast Seattle, Kubota Garden is a stunning 20-acre landscape that blends Japanese garden design with native Northwest plants. The City purchased the property in 1987 from the estate of master landscaper Fujito Kubota, a horticultural pioneer who began using Japanese design techniques and American materials in 1927. Set among spectacular hills and valleys, the garden is interlaced with streams, waterfalls, ponds, bridges, and rock outcroppings. This small, lovely garden is a hidden gem on Queen Anne's south slope. Washington Park Arboretum Lake Washington Blvd.
