Indeed. Those seem to be one of the sets of standard park hours at this time. I’d also believe those are the summer hours. At least it no longer says “dusk till dawn” on most parks!

Here’s the February 2009 Operating Hours proposal, which has some explanations of why.

I’m looking for more 24-hour parks in Seattle, so far I’ve found:
Atlantic City Boat Ramp, 8702 Seward Park Ave. S
Green Lake Park, 7201 E Green Lake Dr. N
Kerry Park (Franklin Place), 211 W Highland Dr.
Myrtle Edwards Park, 3130 Alaskan Way W
Stan Sayres Memorial Park, 3808 Lake Washington Blvd. S
Eddie Vine Boat Ramp, 8001 Seaview Ave. NW
Lake Washington Boulevard, Washington Park to Seward Park
Wallingford Steps, Wallingford Ave. N Street End at N 34th St.
Queen Anne Boulevard, Encircles Queen Anne Hill
Sunnyside Ave N Boat Ramp, 2301 NE Northlake Way

Actually, that’s some good information, I’m going to cross-post that over on my Seattle Stargazing page.

I’m curious, do you have any good suggestions for North/Northeast facing horizons? I was thinking something on the southern side of Lake Washington might have a pretty flat horizon. I’d like to be able to give a recommendation for Perseid viewing.
