If you’re looking for multiple choices you can rest assured that Magnuson Park has most of them. From abandoned (but clean) warehouses, to dirt roads, lakes, architecture feeling like it was shipped straight from Rome, and even 21st century sculptures. Their grass is always cut to perfection, their white fences always clean. Pictures from atop sailing boats is possible due to the docks, although a call ahead might be needed in order to do so.
