The full guide

On this side of Queen Anne Hill, about 35 acres of open land add up to a notable stretch of green. The Northeast Queen Anne Greenbelt is a public park in East Queen Anne, part of Seattle's Queen Anne district, managed by Seattle Parks and Recreation near Dexter Way N, Lynn Street and Wheeler. Its size and its connections to two smaller neighborhood parks are what set it apart.

Two Neighborhood Parks, One Linked Green

Step from the greenbelt straight into Trolley Hill Park or MacLean Park, because it connects directly to both. MacLean Park sits less than a tenth of a mile away, and Trolley Hill Park is about a tenth of a mile off. Together they work as one linked group of public spaces rather than three separate patches of green, so plan to take in all three.

Getting to the Greenbelt

Head for the listed address, Dexter Way N & Lynn St & Wheeler, Seattle, WA 98109. Before you set out, look up the Seattle Parks and Recreation page for the greenbelt to confirm current access points, rules and park details.
