Nora's Woods is an undeveloped city park and native plant garden[1] in the Madrona neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The 0.35-acre (0.14 ha) house lot-sized wooded area is named for Seattleite Nora Wood, who purchased the land in 1987 that was given to The Trust for Public Land after her death in 1989.[2][3][4][5] Cleanup of the overgrown and neglected property by neighborhood volunteers to create the park began in 1996 or 1997.[5][6] In 1998, it became a city park.

The Columbia Street pollinator pathway connects Nora's Woods to the 18th Avenue P-Patch and the Seattle University campus.[3]

Nora Wood's ashes are buried in Nora's Woods Park.[6]
