Aubrey Davis Park, formerly the Mercer Island Lid and First Hill Lid, is a park lid covering 2,800 feet (850 m) of Interstate 90 (I-90) between West Mercer Way and 76th Avenue Southeast on Mercer Island.[1] The park was created as to minimize the impact of I-90, opening to the public in the 1990s. Former Mercer Island mayor lobbied for the park's creation in the 1970s. After his death in 2013, the park was renamed after him.[2]
