Report Check-In

Desert parking lot next to a Park. Bathroom was closed when I arrived (around 11 pm) and loud noises in the morning.

Report Check-In

Large parking lot under roadway overpass was surprisingly quiet until the metro ventilation fans kicked on at 7:30 am. Great connection to I-90 bike trail. Beautiful park with courts, walking, picnicking.

Report Check-In

did not stay but scoped it out. my rig 24' class C is a little too conspicuous for this spot

nice quiet park with no 'no overnight parking' signage

probably good to add to a rotation when in the Seattle area

please be courteous of residents and keep area free of litter sand debris

Great spot for a night. Quiet and safe neighbourhood. We ended up staying 2nights. Toilets are a 2min walk and clean.

Excellent overnight spot. Quiet and safe! Bathrooms at the park open during Covid.

Great place for an overnight in a car. No "no" signs. Great sunset from the western edge of the tennis courts. Pretty quiet at night though a lot of people showed up on a Sunday morning to play tennis! Note that this is a really nice neighborhood - most houses are worth $2-11 million.

Super place pour passer la nuit ! Tranquille et toilette disponible près du terrain de Baseball !

Had the chance to stay here and was pushed out by the local workers. The location is very quiet at night and clean/safe. Needed to stay close by for an appointment in Bellevue in the morning. Woke up at 5am to the sounds of the park staff pull up beside me and talking about how they hate people that have been camping here and they need to do something about it. So they used 2 vehicles on either side of my van and blasted the radios while talking about this situation. Obviously wanting me to hear it. Also, I’m in a very nice 2014 cargo van. So I’m not some dingy rv like some spots in Seattle. Idk if I should mark it closed because it sounds like they’ll be making changes.

Report Check-In

Just got a visit from the cops. They said no camping here, or anywhere on Mercer Island. The back end of Our rig was blocking the sidewalk.

Nice, quiet place. Park has tennis courts and paved trails. Bigger than it appears from the road. Not a place for big rigs, but my 24' Navion fit nicely, backing into parking spot. Across the street from upscale homes, so be responsible.

Report Check-In

Great great place!

Clearly no sign forbids overnight parking. Stayed one night without any problem.

Tennis court(free). BBQ area(free). Playground(free). Fastfoods and supermarket 1km east.

Be gentle and clean for future overlanders please.

Nice and quiet parking lot next to the park. we arrived at 10 pm so we were alone and when we woke up there was a few cars.
public toilets are on the east side down the little hill. very clean and with hot water ! there are two fontains: one next to the toilets and the other next to the tennis court.
very good place !!!

I think it's the best place, when you visit Seattle. The Express Bus 550 is cheap and fast. Wie stood under the bridge. So we could not be seen from the road. But the shadow is bad for the solar panel!

Report Check-In

Great quiet place. This is next to park but directly in front of some homes, so please keep it clean so they don’t put up the No Overnight signs.

Not big enormous go for RVs, trailers, or > 20ft long.

Great place to stay for the night! Safe neighborhood and quite.

2nd time we’ve stayed here. Nice quiet park right outside of the city in an upscale neighborhood.
Highly recommend the pretzel rolls from Shawn’s Bakery & Cafe right down the street.

Report Check-In

Nice pull off with plenty of parking just a few minutes outside of Seattle. We pulled in here around 11pm, took the dogs on a quick walk, and had a quiet night to ourselves.

Report Check-In

Stayed two nights without any problems, washrooms are close and clean and locals were friendly. Even had wifi.

Report Check-In

fine place to pull in for the nigjt. relatively quiet. Some traffic and could hear highway but not bad for somewhere to stay in the city.

Report Check-In

like describe. very nice place and nice people who works on the park. we sleep under the small bridge.

Report Check-In

Parking lot at Aubray Davis Park. This is the correct location. Quiet, more or less level, restrooms a little down the park trail (east) next to a baseball field. Police came after me being there for 24hrs, said no problem, so stayed two days/nights. Feels safe. Small cars only, lots of dogs in the park, so pet-friendly.

Bus to downtown Seattle: walk the paved park trail ('I-90 trail') approx. 1km east to Mercer Island P+R Station. 2,75 one-way, bus no. 550 Express, every 10min or so, very fast.
FYI: The bus stop at the little P+R lot one block up from this location seems to be out of service (bus no. 630).
