Maple Leaf Reservoir Park

About

The 16 acres of parkland provides a neighborhood park for Northeast Seattle. The design theme "Wind, Waves and Wings" was inspired by a community vision.  
The park includes the following:

• a system of pathways weaving through plantings and trees, including two staircases connecting the upper and lower levels of the park. Note: The outer asphalt pathway is 2540' so 2 laps is just 200' under 1 mile
• a viewpoint highlighting the Mount Rainier and Lake Washington
• a series of rain gardens
• a shelter and gathering plaza
• a sports court area, including pickleball court, a hitting wall, and basketball hoops
• two ball fields -- the Will Stacey Fields, named after a local youth baseball player who died as a Marine serving in Afghanistan
• a play area boasting a zip line, children's garden, and other unique play features.

Maple Leaf Park features Patrick Marold's site-specific public artwork, Confluent Boulders. Inspired by the two sources of water that feed the Maple Leaf Reservoir, the sculpture comprises of two igneous boulders taken from the Tolt River and Cedar River Watersheds.  With the Cascade Range as a backdrop, Confluent Boulders enhances our awareness of the region's natural resources and its connection to the environment.

In 2024 SPR and SDOT completed construction on the Maple Leaf Neighborhood Greenway Connection! We’ve installed the signalized crossing improvements at NE 103rd St & Roosevelt Way NE and pavement markings and signage along the Maple Leaf Connection.
