Donnie Chin International Children's Park

Donnie Chin International Children's Park is a small green space in the Chinatown-International District with an open lawn, picnic tables, and modern play equipment. Located at the corner of Lane Street and 7th Avenue South, it provides multiple seating areas for adults supervising children.

The park was established in 1981 and named after Donnie Chin, founder of the International District Emergency Center. Major renovations took place in 2012 following funding approval by Seattle voters for parks and green spaces.

The space displays three sculptures representing Asian cultural traditions: a spinning top, an I-Ching Coin, and a Sepak Takraw Ball created by artist Stuart Nakamura. These artworks reflect the diverse heritage of the neighborhood where people gather.

The park features easily accessible play equipment and green areas designed for small children to run and explore. Multiple seating areas throughout allow adults to watch children while taking a break from activity.

A bronze dragon sculpture by artist Gerard Tsutakawa stands as a distinctive landmark that draws visitors' attention. This figure becomes a focal point that many people touch and notice when walking through the grounds.
