Beer Sheva Park is one of Seattle's designated pesticide-free park facilities, located within the city's Rainier Beach neighborhood along the banks of Lake Washington. The park was originally dedicated as Atlantic City Park in 1905 and renamed as Beer Sheva Park in honor of the city's Israeli sister city.

In 2014, more than 440 feet of natural stream channel was reestablished in the park, intended to connect Lake Washington to nearby Mapes Creek for salmon-rearing purposes.

The park serves as a popular spot for picnics and community gatherings throughout the year, offering a bicycle area, children's playground, day-use picnic sites, and a boat ramp access point. Other features include the Rainier Urban Farm and Wetland community initiative.
