Howell Park (also known as Howell Beach Park and Howell Street Park) [1] [2] is a public park in Seattle's Madrona neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Washington. [3] The small beachfront park abuts Lake Washington. [4] It is used for nude recreation [5] and has "historically been more for the boys" (referring to gay men), according to The Stranger. [1] [6] Jacklyn Grambush included Howell Park in Time Out Seattle's 2018 overview of twelve "fabulous" Seattle beaches. [7]
