HOURS4 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. ABOUT THE PARKIn this beautiful little neighborhood park, visitors can enjoy tall trees and picnic tables scattered over green grassy hills, while on bright afternoons crows and squirrels can be observed harassing one another, swallows dive to eat flies, and children play at the park’s play area. It features a big playground with baby swings, sandbox, slides etc., bathroom facilities, and benches. Acreage: 2.8HISTORYSalmon Bay was originally named by pioneers William Bell and the Denny brothers. At that time, the bay area was inhabited by the Shilshole Indians. Salmon Bay Park itself was named after a former tidal flat, which is now part of the Washington Ship Canal. The Park was deeded to the City in 1890, and annexed to the rest of the city along with Ballard in 1907.
