Welcome to Magnuson Park, home of the Sand Point Naval Air Station Historic District and site of the first around-the-world flight.
Friends of Magnuson Park is the only non-profit organization dedicated to its historic preservation.
That has been our purpose since 2002, to preserve and interpret the long and rich history of Sand Point from its pre-contact uses by indigenous peoples through its role in local aviation and military history to today. Towards this goal we will continue to advocate for the long-term preservations of resources within the Historic District and proudly bring you educational exhibits and historic programming at the Park.

ENVISIONING A VISITOR CENTER
After many years dreaming of a Visitor Center in a renovated former gas station (Building 41), we've refocused our efforts on a lighter lift for our organization - a space with the same footprint and big impact possibility in Building 406.
Exploratory conversations are now in the works with Seattle Parks
to transform this space into the Visitor Center of our dreams.
