Scope and content
- Originally a private park founded in 1883, much of the land was purchased by John M. and Abbie H. Frink and gifted to Seattle on October 25, 1906. The park's roadways and paths were designed by the famed Olmsted Associates in Brookline, Massachusetts, who took over the firm of their father, Frederick Law Olmsted-- to maximize the views of Lake Washington and to interconnect with other parks in Seattle. The parks paths, trails and footbridges were spruced up in anticipation of the AYPE held in Seattle in 1909, and an active friends group provides maintenance and restoration of native plants to the park today. circa 1917.
