Colman Park is a charming 24.3-acre park in Seattle's Mount Baker neighborhood, located along the banks of Lake Washington near the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge. The park, which is located adjacent to Mount Baker Bathing Beach, was named in honor of Seattle-area engineer James M.

Colman, noted for his work on the city's first municipal water pumphouse. Throughout the 20th century, the park was home to a popular swimming beach that serviced up to 40,000 swimmers each summer, though the park's beach closed in the 1960s following efforts to renovate its former pumphouse facility. Today, visitors can play football, soccer, and volleyball on the park's grassy lawns or splash in the water at its lakefront, which is accessible via cement steps left over from the park's swimming beach days.
