Cal Anderson Park Capitol Hill Seattle WA - very cool!
Well I had a great day yesterday - a little showing, some paperwork, and then a couple great walks and play time around Seattle neighborhood Capitol Hill. It was a perfect Seattle summer day! I wanted to go to Cal Anderson Park (corner of 11th and E Pine) because I had seen the feature on Evening Magazine on it. After visiting the park, I also read about it in a great article on HA Seattle, because I was seriously confused while my children played in the texture fountain. I thought it was the wading pool! I was not alone as there were a ton of kids playing in it and dogs swimming in what must be the "reflection" pool. I was pretty sure Evening Magazine specifically said a "series of toddler wading pools", but I will have to go back and review the segment. So I brought my little ones along and we joined in with all the other people walking in the "wading pool" - or at least what I thought was a funky wading pool.
Cal Anderson Park Fountain: Not a Wading pool, but a fountain...You see, I have been to wading pools 
around Seattle - this is one of the most fun things for a two year old boy, but I did think this one was a bit odd looking. Turns out there were posted notices all over to keep people and dogs out, but everyone was in it anyway. I did think the odd bumps in the fountain would really do a number on my little guy's head if he clunked it on them, but I stayed close and kept him semi tame. The fact is that the gorgeous fountain is just that - a fountain and the wading pool is not part of the fountain at all. So legally speaking, stay out of it, but wow, it was fun!
Cal Anderson Park in Seattle's great Capitol Hill neighborhood is worth a visit and another great reason to find a Seattle home in this wonderful neighborhood! Interested in Capitol Hill real estate?
