About Andover Place in Seattle
Andover Place is a small urban park located along Beach Drive SW in Seattle, Washington. This narrow strip of land between buildings provides public access to the beach along Puget Sound. The park was donated to the city in 1948 by Edward P. Grad and Betty Grad, with the intention that it be "used exclusively for public recreation and access to waters of Puget Sound."
Visitors to Andover Place can enjoy scenic views of the Kitsap Peninsula and Puget Sound from this waterfront location. The park features a simple path leading down to the beach, where tree trunks washed up on the shore serve as natural seating areas for visitors to relax and take in the coastal scenery.
As one of Seattle's "street end" parks, Andover Place offers a quiet spot for neighborhood residents and visitors to connect with nature and enjoy the waterfront in an urban setting. The park's compact size and minimal development help maintain its natural character.
