Cowen Park–Ravenna Park is a single contiguous recreation and green space with two names.and similar stories.

Ravenna Park is a 49.9 acre (20.6 ha) public park in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. It is contiguous to the west with Cowen Park in the Roosevelt neighborhood. The parks are characterized by the 115 ft (35 m) deep ravine through which Ravenna Creek flows and which is traversed by the 20th Avenue NE Bridge, closed to motorized traffic since 1975. The park is mostly forested with native Western Hemlock, Bigleaf Maple and Coast Douglas-fir. Nonindigenous trees include Coast Redwood and Western Larch. The park was purchased from developers in 1911.

Cowen Park is an 8.4 acre (3.5 ha) public park in the Roosevelt neighborhood, contiguous with Ravenna Park. The current source of Ravenna Creek is the west face of the ravine along Brooklyn Avenue NE and a little wetland in the northwest corner, at NE 62nd Street.

The Cowen Park Bridge carrying 15th Avenue NE and dividing the parks only in name is on the National Register of Historic Places.
