Kubota Garden

What are the hours? The Garden is open every day of the year from sunrise to sundown. The parking lot opens at 7:30am and closes at 8:00pm.   Are reservations required to visit? No.   How much does it cost? Kubota Garden is free of charge. For donations, there is a birdhouse-like structure next to the information kiosk adjacent to the parking lot, or you can click DONATE in the navigation of this website and complete the form.   How much does it cost to park? Parking is free. The parking lot entrance is on 55th Ave S near Renton Ave S. Additional free, street parking is available along 55th Ave S and Renton Ave. S. As with all public parks, we encourage you to leave valuables at home, but if you must bring them, store them out of sight before you reach the Garden.   Can I bring my dog? Yes, provided that you keep them on leash at all times, keep them out of plants and ponds, and clean up after them.   Can we picnic? There are three picnic tables, a few benches and a few expanses of lawn area where picnics are allowed.   Is the Garden wheelchair accessible? The Garden’s primary paths are made of hard-packed gravel. There are grade changes along every path, some steeper than others. One section, The Mountainside, is not wheelchair accessible at all. The Self-Guided Tour map shows the paths that are easier to navigate. As a result of the Master Plan Update, a project to create accessible pathways to the picnic area will begin in Fall of 2021.   Are bicycles, electric scooters or other motorized vehicles permitted? Kubota Garden's paths are not multi-use trails, therefore only motorized wheelchairs are permitted according to the rules and regulations set by Seattle Parks & Recreation.
