Cal Anderson Park, Public park in Capitol Hill, Seattle

The 7.37-acre Cal Anderson Park features a central mountain fountain, reflecting pools, sports fields, and multiple recreational facilities for community activities.

Lincoln Reservoir was constructed in 1901 following the Great Seattle Fire, and the space was redesigned by the Olmsted Brothers as Lincoln Park that same year.

The park stands as a memorial to Washington State's first openly gay legislator, Cal Anderson, and functions as a central gathering place in Seattle's LGBTQIA neighborhood.

The park includes tennis courts, basketball areas, a children's playground, and the Bobby Morris Playfield, which offers organized sports activities throughout the year.

The north section contains the AMP: AIDS Memorial Pathway, which visitors can explore through an augmented reality application for interpretation.
