- Cal Anderson Park, a beautifully renovated and expanded park on Seattle’s Capitol Hill, re-opened on September 24, 2005. Originally one of Seattle’s Olmsted-designed parks (named “Lincoln Park,”), it had by 1993 deteriorated into weeds, trash, and a graffiti-covered rest room, and was avoided by community members as a druggy and dangerous place. Kay Rood and the community organization Groundswell Off Broadway was a prime mover in the process of organizing to rebuild the park into a beautiful community asset with an undergrounded reservoir, a playground, community buildings, a water feature, paths, gardens, and benches. This is Kay Rood’s story of the long process of rebuilding the park, which is named for Cal Anderson, Washington’s first openly gay legislator.
