Seahurst Park

In the 1960s, the vision of developing Seahurst Park began with former King County Commissioner Ed Munro. King County purchased the beach in the late 60s from Howard Quinn with money that was gained from the sale of another piece of land in Burien. The park opened April 12, 1975 and was eventually formally named by King County as "Ed Munro Seahurst Park". The property was originally owned by Robert S. Fox who also owned the Seattle Lumber Company. The deed to the park was transferred from King County to the City of Burien in 1994.

Seahurst Park offers a saltwater beach, picnic shelters and tables, a play area, and several trails.
