Scope and content
- Natatorium Park began as a trolley park. These parks were often owned by the trolley lines, and were placed at the end of the tracks to give riders a reason to ride. Initially named Twickenham park after a housing development of the same name, the park sported a baseball diamond, hotel and casino, and boasted the first heated swimming pool in the state of Washington. The pool was called the Natatorium for the latin word for swimming pool, and shortly thereafter the park was renamed Natatorium Park--or the Nat--by its patrons. circa 1905.
