Cal Anderson Park, Public park in Capitol Hill, Seattle
Cal Anderson Park is a public park in Capitol Hill featuring about 7 acres with a central fountain, reflecting pools, and manicured green spaces. It contains tennis courts, basketball areas, a children's playground, and the Bobby Morris Playfield for organized recreation.
After the Great Seattle Fire of 1901, a water reservoir was built on this site as part of the city's rebuilding efforts. The Olmsted Brothers later redesigned the space into a park that has evolved over time.
The park honors Cal Anderson, a pioneering openly gay legislator, and serves as a central gathering point where neighbors and visitors connect. It reflects the identity and importance of the surrounding community.
The park is easy to reach on foot and has multiple entrances around the perimeter. Parking is available nearby, and the location connects well to public transit routes.
The north section features the AIDS Memorial Pathway, which visitors can explore using an augmented reality application. This interactive feature creates a modern way to connect with the story.
