Built on land once occupied by the U.S. Army's Fort Lawton, Discovery Park contains 550 acres on which are located a lighthouse, century-old military structures, a veterans' cemetery, and a sewage treatment plant. Landscape architect, Dan Kiley, created a masterplan for the development of Discovery Park, after what had been Fort Lawton was ceded to the City of Seattle in 1970. Several of the 100-year old military buildings, including the gymnasium, civilian employee quarters, stables, guardhouse, and officer's quarters, were added to the National Register of Historic Places (as a district) and were also named a municipal historic district.

Tel: 206.386.4236 (2007). Master plans for the park were executed in 1972 and 1986.

In 2007, 23 acres of military housing built in the 1960s was set to be demolished on parklands.
