Madison Park is an 8.3 acre (34,000 m2) park in the Madison Park neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, located between the western shore of Lake Washington on the east, 42nd Avenue E. on the west, E. Madison Street on the north, and E. Blaine Street on the south. 43rd Avenue E. divides it into two sections; the east is a swimming beach and public dock, and the west is a playground, playfield, and tennis courts. Next to the beach is Madison Park Co-op, a community playhouse for toddlers and children.
For the first 19 years of its existence, the Madison Street Cable Railway ran on Madison Street from Elliott Bay to the park. Service was cut back to 21st Avenue in 1910. There was also ferry service on Lake Washington from the early 1880s to August 31, 1950 from Madison Park across the lake to Kirkland. (The construction of the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge in 1940 had greatly reduced demand and the continued existence of the run could no longer be justified after tolls were removed in 1949.)




Steamboat landing


From about 1890 to 1910 Madison Park was also a landing for steamboats which ran on Lake Washington.

Madison Park is a neighborhood in eastern Seattle, Washington, United States. It is named after the city park at the foot of Madison Street on the Lake Washington shore. The neighborhood is generally bounded on the east by Lake Washington; on the south by East Prospect Street, beyond which is Denny-Blaine; on the west by Lake Washington Boulevard E.; and on the north by Union Bay. Madison Park generally consists of single-family housing with a small business district near the park.
The neighborhood was developed at the end of Madison Streets in the 1860s by Judge John J. McGilvra, who built his family home in the area and donated 24 acres (9.7 ha) for use as a public park. The city's first ballpark was built along Madison Street in 1890. In the early 20th century, Madison Park became a popular summer destination for Seattleites due to its access via cable car and ferries to the Eastside. The neighborhood continues to draw local residents for recreation in the summer.
Washington Park and the private Broadmoor community and golf course are subunits within Madison Park. The neighborhood's main thoroughfares are E. Madison Street (northeast- and southwest-bound) and McGilvra Boulevard E. (north- and southbound).
Madison Park's Pioneer Hall (also known as Washington Pioneer Hall) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, ID #70000645.
