Terry Pettus Park

Terry Pettus Park is a small waterfront park located in the Eastlake neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Situated along Fairview Avenue E, the park offers visitors access to the eastern shore of Lake Union.

The park spans approximately 0.9 acres (3,600 square meters) and serves as a pocket park for the local community. It provides shoreline access and includes a public float, allowing visitors to enjoy views of Lake Union and the surrounding area. The park's location makes it a convenient spot for launching small watercraft such as canoes and kayaks.

Named after Terry Pettus, a local activist who played a crucial role in saving Lake Union's houseboats and preventing direct dumping into the lake, the park was dedicated in 1985, a year after Pettus' death. The park serves as a testament to his efforts in preserving the local environment and community.

Seattle Parks and Recreation has proposed renovations for Terry Pettus Park, aiming to enhance its features with more durable materials, improve accessibility, and incorporate shoreline restoration. The renovation plans also include the integration of an additional 4,000 square foot shoreline parcel into the park area.
