Historical Note

The Department of Parks and Recreation maintains the City's parks, shorelines, and boulevards and administers community centers, public golf courses, and other athletic and cultural facilities. Seattle's first park was established in 1884 after David Denny donated land to the City for that purpose. At that time, a three-member park committee, with limited authority, was created to manage the nascent park system. A Board of Parks Commissioners was established in 1890 with control over all public parks and authority to appoint a Parks Superintendent. In 1896, the City Charter created the position of Superintendent of Streets, Sewers and Parks. The Parks Department became a separate entity in 1904. In 1926, a City Charter Amendment abolished the position of Superintendent, distributing its responsibilities between the Head Gardener and the Landscape Architect. A 1948 City Charter amendment required the Board of Park Commissioners to appoint a park superintendent to administer the department. In 1967, another City Charter Amendment reconstituted the Board as an advisory body to the Mayor and City Council, changed the agency name to Department of Parks and Recreation, and placed fiscal and operational administration under the superintendent.

In 1902 the City hired the Olmsted Brothers, the country's premier landscape architectural firm, to design a parks and boulevards system. Although not all of the plan was implemented, the Olmsted legacy is evident in many of Seattle's parks and boulevards. The City acquired significant amounts of property for park purposes following the turn of the 20th Century, but in 1926 further acquisition was limited by a City Charter amendment that stipulated only money in the Park Fund could be used for that purpose. However, in the 1970s, the Forward Thrust Bond issue, along with federal grants and the Seattle Model City Program, supported the largest expansion of the Park system in Seattle history. These programs funded more than 70 new parks and park facilities. The Department manages over 6,000 acres of park land, 25 community centers, four municipal golf courses, the Aquarium, and many other recreational and athletic facilities.

Content Description

The records of the Facilities Maintenance Division date primarily from 1950 to 1987; one set of records, dealing with Matthews Beach, dates from 1928 to 1950. The records measure 59 cubic feet. The collection, arranged alphabetically by park or project, documents changes and improvements in Seattle Parks as well as some new parks. The activities were funded through Forward Thrust, Model City Program, and other agencies, as well as with Parks Department monies. The records document the planning, design, and construction processes. The records of the project coordinator for the specific project are included in this collection, and often those of other Parks Department employees appear in the collection as well. Project coordinators included Buddy Brown, Ernie Ferrero, Jim Jessel, and John Vibber.

The record series contains correspondence, contracts and agreements, copies of related legislation, reports, maps, drawings, newspaper clippings, and some photographs. In some cases, copies of deeds are included. The collection provides good documentation of neighborhood character because community input played a large part in the process of improving parks or developing new parks. The relationship between the Parks Department and the various contractors is also very well-documented. Meeting minutes for various projects are included, often documenting the specific project through its various stages. When more than one department or entities outside of the City are involved, as was the case in the construction of the Aquarium or the Freeway Park, for example, the interdepartmental relationships are well-documented through memorandum, reports and contracts. Costs of each project are also well-documented.

Many projects in the collection are of note. One is the documentation of the Burke-Gilman Trail, which covers the years 1973 to 1980 and includes material on the land transfer between the railroad and the City, as well as correspondence between City departments and with community groups. The Capitol Hill Viewpoint or Louisa Boren Lookout was designed by Victor Steinbrueck, and his correspondence with the City is included in the project files.

The Discovery Park project is especially well-documented. Over six cubic feet of material related to land transfer, community input, construction, and the relationship between the City and the United Indians of All Tribes, as well as other issues relating to the development of the park, are included in the records. The records include correspondence with Bernie Whitebear and documentation of various court proceedings with Margaret Coughlin.

Also well-documented are the Thornton Creek area, especially the environmental studies done surrounding the idea of an urban park and trail. There is good documentation of the planning efforts and studies relating to the central waterfront area as well, including explorations of a marina and convention center. The large volume of records related to Magnuson Park reflect the complex decision-making process regarding its use.

In some cases, information can be found in more than one place in the series. Mini-parks are listed under the name of the specific park but there are folders under “Small Parks and Recreation Areas,” which contain some information on mini-parks. There are a few park ideas that were explored, but never came to fruition, such as South Lake Union Park.
