  • 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.

  • Strollers, bathers, and bikers enjoy a sunny day at Green Lake. The lake was originally named "Lake Green" in 1855, due to its preponderous of algae blooms. In 1903, a park was built around the lake. A bathhouse was added in 1927 and an Aqua Theater in 1950 which featured "swimusicals". The Aqua Theater ran until 1965, but was still used occasionally for concerts until a 1969 Grateful Dead show demonstrated how dangerous and crumbling the grandstand had become. The bathhouse, however, is still in use as a theater for local productions, and the park is a very popular place to be on sunny days.
