On the
opposite corner is this pleasant little park. A year and
a half ago, it was a nondescript streetcorner and some street-planning
changes enabled the corner to be expanded and rounded. Landscapers
planted many beautiful flowers and shrubs and this year,
the park has really been beautiful. On a nice day, there
is a wonderful view of the Cascade mountains and Green Lake.
The
benches are each engraved with part of the following saying:
"
The earth and the people in it are my own community, and
as long as I live in it, it is my privilege to do for it
whatever I can."
