Cal Anderson Park Alliance

CAPA is an organization convened in 2006 by Seattle Parks & Recreation which brings together citizens and Parks employees who are dedicated to generating creative, innovative activities, programs and events to activate Cal Anderson Park. Our goal is to build on and sustain healthy, safe and varied uses for the park. Welcome to our website, which will grow as our board grows. Check back often to see what's happening in the park!

We are pleased and proud that Cal Anderson Park was named in 2009 as one of twelve America's Best City Parks by Forbes.com.

 

Capitol Hill Ice Rink !

This December the park will see its first annual (we hope!) ice rink. It will be open daily from December 6 - 24, 2011, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the basketball court area. Skate rental is $12 for adults and $6 for children 8 years & under (includes skate rental). Credit cards only, no cash.

Open day festivities begin at 4:30 on Tuesday December 6 with Mayor Mike McGinn and the Northwest School a capella singers. Free skating to the first 100 visitors.

Come start a new park tradition!
