Denny Blaine Park

About

The grassy non-lifeguarded beach is surrounded by an old stone wall, which marked the shoreline before 1917 when the lake level was lowered nine feet by the construction of the Lake Washington Ship Canal.

In recent decades, has become an especially important and affirming public space for Seattle’s queer, transgender, and gender-diverse community members, who have found connection, safety, and belonging there, as recognized in Seattle City Council Resolution 32219. 

This park includes a clothing-optional area, with use guidelines, detailing allowable and prohibited activities at the park. 

Supplemental Use Guidelines

SPR has adopted supplemental use guidelines for Denny Blaine Park, which are park-specific guidelines that define acceptable and prohibited behaviors and help clarify how the park can be used.
