East Prospect Street End Park

Serene Lakeside Retreat

Located in Seattle is East Prospect Street End Park, one of the city's largest shoreline street ends that gives everyone access to the stunning Lake Washington. It's hard to believe this spot was once completely overrun with blackberry bushes! Today, it's been transformed into a peaceful public space where you can dip your toes into the water from its welcoming rocky beach.

What You'll Find There

The park features a lovely garden filled with native plants that the community helps maintain - a true labor of local love. You'll also find several benches scattered throughout where you can sit back and soak in those breathtaking views of Lake Washington.

The spacious beach area offers a quiet escape, especially if you visit on weekdays when fewer people are around. The water is typically clean, though you might notice some algae during busy boating seasons, particularly on weekends when boat traffic picks up.

Seattle's Best-Kept Secret

Many locals consider this place a secluded area that rarely gets crowded. It's a quiet lakeside spot where you can take a break from city life. Dog owners particularly appreciate having a place where their four-legged friends can enjoy the lake too.

Located in the Madison Park neighborhood, the small size of this park gives it a more intimate feeling.

Fresh Updates

In November 2019, the park got a nice facelift and celebrated its grand reopening. The renovation focused on making the shoreline more accessible while creating a more inviting atmosphere for everyone who visits.

Today, it's a small community space that maintains its natural charm.

Part of Something Bigger

East Prospect Street End Park belongs to Seattle's Shoreline Street Ends Program, making it one of 149 public street ends throughout the city that provide waterfront access. These locations provide public access to Seattle's waterfronts.
