Hamlin Park is an 80-acre public park in Shoreline, Washington. The park includes a wooded area with trails, a softball/baseball field with bleachers, two playgrounds, and a picnic shelter.[1] An orienteering course with waypoint markers is laid out within the park.[2]
Two historic 8-inch/30-caliber guns from USS Boston are mounted near the park's main playground.[3]
In 2017, the park was a subject of controversy in response to the city's proposal to convert part of the wooded area into a maintenance facility.[4] After a series of "Save Hamlin Park" protests from city residents, the proposal was withdrawn.[5][6]
