South Park
Things to do while you're here

  • Residents and visitors can picnic in the Duwamish Waterway Park, with new benches, picnic tables and barbecue pits, located at the end of South Kenyon Street.

  • The recently named Cesar Chavez Park beside the bridge underpass on Cloverdale Street has stones for sitting amid the flowers and long grasses.

  • Anyone up for a game of basketball or a walk along leisurely stretches of rolling green grass can stop by the South Park Community Center, at 8319 Eighth Ave. S. To visit the community's thriving P-patch, take South Director Street until it dead ends. On a bulletin board are photos of South Park farmers early in the century, packing up vegetables, fruit and flowers to sell at the Pike Place Market.

  • South Park's downtown strip, along 14th Avenue South, has a strongly Hispanic flavor, with groceries, music, clothes, religious goods, party favors and fast food for sale.

  • South Park is probably best known as the site of the south end's Recycling and Disposal Station, built on 9 acres in 1966 on the site of the old South Park landfill, at 8100 Second Ave. S.
