Fun Facts

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Madison Park was a popular destination for Seattle's wealthy residents, featuring a beach, a bathhouse, and a dance pavilion.

Built in 1911, the Madison Park Bathhouse is one of the oldest structures in the area and now serves as a community center.

The park was the terminus of the Madison Street Cable Car Line, which operated from 1890 to 1940, making it easily accessible to city dwellers.

The park is home to a variety of bird species, including bald eagles and great blue herons, making it a favorite spot for birdwatchers.

Located on the shores of Lake Washington, the beach offers a refreshing swim with lifeguards on duty during the summer months.

The surrounding area features charming early 20th-century homes, reflecting the architectural styles of the time.
