Myrtle Edwards Park

Myrtle Edwards Park is a 4.8-acre public park along the Elliott Bay waterfront in Seattle. It features a 1.25-mile bicycle and walking path, and visitors can spot eagles, gulls, and crows. The park is long and narrow, with BNSF railroad tracks and a fence on its eastern side, making entry easiest at the northern or southern ends. A pedestrian and bicycle overpass at West Thomas Street, built in 2012, helps with access. Visitors enjoy the Olympic Sculpture Park at the southern end, part of the Seattle Art Museum, and the sculpture "Adjacent, Against, Upon" by Michael Heizer near the northern end. The park hosts the annual Seattle Hempfest and once held the Fourth of Jul-Ivar's fireworks show. A major renovation from March 2025 to June 2026, funded by private donations, replaced aging infrastructure. The park connects to Centennial Park at the northern end, and both are sometimes considered a single park.
