Myrtle Reservoir Park

A Unique Urban Space

Myrtle Reservoir Park is situated atop a lidded reservoir in West Seattle, Washington. This 4.8-acre park offers a unique blend of urban infrastructure and recreational space, developed as part of a larger project to cover the Myrtle Reservoir.

The park's elevated position provides visitors with scenic viewpoints that offer beautiful vistas of the surrounding area.

Park Features

One of the most notable features is the open grass field on top of the lidded reservoir, providing ample space for informal play and activities. A circular pathway surrounds this central area, perfect for strolling or jogging around the perimeter.

The park includes dedicated play areas for families with young children. There are separate spaces for tots and older children, each with age-appropriate equipment and activities that create a safe and engaging environment.

Accessibility and Environment

Accessibility was a key consideration in the park's development. The pathways within Myrtle Reservoir Park are ADA compliant, ensuring that visitors of all mobility levels can navigate and enjoy the space.

Newly planted areas in the park are currently fragile and may need time to establish fully.
