A narrow strip of lawn and trees along Lake Washington, Madrona Park is best known for its spectacular views of the Eastside and for its beach, where a city grant funded an elaborate play area with driftwood, a "stream" powered by a hand pump, and mosaic-embedded rocks. But, there's also the Spectrum Dance studio, a fishing dock and, across the boulevard, the steep ramble of the Madrona Woods, beloved of dirt-bikers and wanderers. Lounge on the beach's rolling lawn, get muddy in the woods or just enjoy the view.
