Madison Beach Park

Madison Beach Park sits on the east shore of Seattle, on the border of Lake Washington. The park, though not large in acreage, boasts a grassy area for picnics, a children's playground, a sandy beach, and a supervised diving board where swimmers can show off their skills. Though Madison Beach Park is more popular in the summer months when Seattleites can take full advantage of the water and beach access, during the cooler times of the year one can still enjoy spectacular views of Lake Washington. The park is accessible via car or public transportation, specifically the 11 bus.
