Madison Park North Beach, Madison Park

EDIT 3/25/09: added name of park, as noted on Seattle Park Guide and no where else.

What majesty! (I feel that I say that a lot about parks in Seattle) This park is great. It's a little patch of grass next to Lake Washington, just a few blocks north of Madison Park (home of some of the greatest swings in Seattle).

Location: E Lynn St & 43rd Ave E
Number of swings: 2 regular, 2 baby
Ground material: Sand
Chain length: Short


So these swings are pretty standard short-chains. This park is mostly just grass, usually full of sunbathers... that is, when the sun is actually out in Seattle, and that has been very very often this summer. The swinging is ok, but you may be tempted to sit and just stare. Stare out at that lake. Mmmm, how nice. This park doesn't seem have a name posted anywhere on any Parks or maps website, nor is there a physical sign at the park... if you know the name, please let me know!

How to get there: Bus routes #11 and 84 stop right in front of the park.
