Madison Park North Beach

Is it really a beach? Hard to find parking even in the winter on a weekday morning! But I did enjoy the view and the spot to start a walk.

Great little beach that is mostly less crowded than the main Madison Park beach. Not super accessible for swimming and sometimes gets used as an unofficial dog park which turns the grass into mud. Great spot to enjoy the water view!

Wonderful place for family walk or with a pet. There is a playground, so kids would enjoy.

Just remember when you throw your blanket down that the park is used as a dog park

I loved this park/beach. Very laid back area. Parking on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon was easy to find. Lots of available benches and grassy area if you walk north or south of the beach. Some great restaurants in or near the park to grab takeout. The only challenge was getting there from NE side of Seattle and navigating the construction mess at 520 around Montlake.

Great for grown ups to get some quiet time in away from beach and playground. Used as an unofficial dog park, so watch for poop. Great Willow tree with access to lake for swimming.

Stunning sunrise this morning! A nice little green space to get a tan or throw the Frisbee etc. No water access but Madison Park Beach proper is a short walk south.
