fed by water

As you are passing the Sewage Plant on your right [walking east on North Beach Trail], you may note a series of small ponds to the left of the road. But the ponds are not associated with the Sewage Plant. They were constructed to replace natural swamp habitat displaced when the Sewage Plant was constructed, and they are fed by water piped in from Owl Creek upslope from the plant.

mention

Discovery Park Beach and Highlands Loop (wta.org) Hike through the relatively uncrowded southeast corner of the park, head up to the South Meadow for the views, then get down to the beaches and enjoy a close-up view of the West Point Lighthouse. You’ll come back up to the park highlands by a different route for a close look at old buildings in the Fort Lawton Historic District.

naming

Owl’s – Discovery Park – Unknown origin, though it seems logical to assume that some sort of owl was seen in the vicinity.
