Ruby Chow Park
Campground · Seattle

About
Located at 6265 Stanley Ave S in Seattle, Ruby Chow Park serves as a unique, low-key destination for aviation enthusiasts. Situated directly at the north end of the runway at Boeing Field, the park offers an unobstructed view of aircraft as they descend for landing or prepare for takeoff. For those who enjoy watching planes pass overhead at a remarkably close range, it provides a front-row seat to the daily operations of the airfield, including the popular Blue Angels performances during Seafair. The park itself is a modest, well-maintained patch of green space featuring a few benches and shade trees. While it lacks traditional amenities such as playgrounds, sports courts, or restrooms, it remains a quiet spot for a lunch break or a casual afternoon. Visitors should be aware that the perimeter of the park is frequently occupied by a number of parked RVs and vehicles, which can impact the overall atmosphere. While some patrons appreciate the park as a hidden gem for plane spotting and a relaxed environment for dogs, others suggest that the surrounding conditions and lack of facilities make it a destination best suited for specific interests rather than a traditional family outing.
