Myrtle Edwards Park, Urban park on Elliott Bay waterfront, Seattle, US.
A 4.8-acre park extends along Elliott Bay with a 1.25-mile path offering views of Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains, and Mount Rainier.
Originally named Elliott Bay Park, it received its current name in 1976 to honor Seattle city councilwoman Myrtle Edwards after her family withdrew from Gas Works Park.
The park hosts Seattle Hempfest annually and connects to the Olympic Sculpture Park, featuring Michael Heizer's Adjacent, Against, Upon installation from 1976.
A pedestrian and bicycle overpass at West Thomas Street provides access across the BNSF Railroad tracks that separate the park from Elliott Avenue West.
Eagles, gulls, and crows frequent this waterfront green space, which served as the location for Fourth of Jul-Ivar's fireworks celebrations from 1964 to 2008.
