Gas Works Park is a 19.1-acre public park in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood, located along the northern banks of the city's Lake Union.
The National Register of Historic Places-listed park preserves the facilities of the Seattle Gas Light Company plant, which was the last functional coal gasification plant in the United States at the time of its closing. It was originally opened to the public as Myrtle Edwards Park in 1975, named in honor of the late city councilwoman whose name now adorns the current Myrtle Edwards Park.
Elements of the gas plant have been repurposed for use as park amenities, including areas converted into a children's playground with factory play structures. Other attractions include a sundial sculpture and a kite flying hill popular throughout the spring and summer months.
