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]
