Friends of Lewis Park

Friends of Lewis Park Friends of Lewis Park is an all-volunteer group with the mission to steward the Lewis Park Natural A Lewis in 1911. Water and light snacks provided.

Lewis Park is located at the entrance to Beacon Hill, just south of the Jose Rizal Bridge and below the PacMed building. Lewis Park flanks the eastern hillside at the north tip of Beacon Hill. According to the Sherwood park history files, Lewis Park was a gift of W.H. Long abandoned, Lewis Park had become overgrown by invasive species and garbage. Volunteers from the neighborhood and other communi

ty groups began to clear invasive species and debris, improve the landscape, and plant native species. Friends of Lewis Park (FoLP) is an all-volunteer group of North Beacon Hill neighbors whose mission is to steward the Lewis Park Natural Area. We work with the community and Seattle Parks and Recreation as part of the Green Seattle Partnership to restore and maintain Lewis Park as part of Seattle’s Urban Forest. We are community members who are helping restore Lewis Park to a more natural landscape that includes:

-Safer, more beautiful, habitat for native plants and animals
-Enjoyable place to walk and learn about native plants
-As the entrance to our community, helps to instill a sense of pride in our neighborhood

Join us for work parties at the Lewis Park Natural Area. Work parties are held most Sundays from 10AM - 1PM- visit http://www.lewispark.org for full schedule and to register. Metro Bus #36 or #60 (the Pacific Medical Building stop) serve Lewis Park. E-mail: [email protected]
