Schmitz Park (Seattle)

Schmitz Park, also known as Schmitz Preserve Park, is a 53.1 acre (215,000 m²) park around 15 blocks east of Alki Point in West Seattle, Washington. It features Schmitz Park Creek and one of the last stands of old-growth forest in the city.

Ferdinand and Emma Schmitz donated 30 acres (121,000 m²) of the park to the city in 1908. (Ferdinand was the city's Parks Commissioner from 1908 to 1914). Additions to the park were purchased in 1909, 1930, 1947, and 1958.
