ABOUT THE PARK

Welcome to Warren G. Magnuson Park!
Discover a great urban park which includes pieces of Seattle’s military past and eco-friendly future! Warren G. Magnuson Park sits on a splendid mile-long stretch of Lake Washington’s shoreline in northeast Seattle. At 350 acres, it is Seattle’s second largest park.

This former Navy airfield has transformed into a unique combination of features and activities for you to enjoy: recreation and leisure—boating, swimming, walks, kite flying, to name a few; sports fields; natural areas; and a historic campus.

For a look at the history of military base reuse in Seattle, please see Military Base Reuse.
