Cal Anderson Park Alliance

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 has been named one of twelve America's Best City Parks by Forbes.com. Other parks include Prospect Park/Brooklyn, Boston Common, Golden Gate Park/San Francisco, Balboa Park/San Diego and Patterson Park/Baltimore.

Peter Harnik, director of the Center for City Park Excellence at the Trust for Public Land in Washington, D.C. says "A great city park has to be a beautiful space that also has a great relationship with the city." We think Cal Anderson Park has that in spades. See http://www.forbes.com/2009/11/18/best-city-parks-lifestyle-travel-central-park.html

 

 Look for the 2010 CAPA Calendar of events in shops and windows all over Capitol Hill and Pike/Pine for a summer's worth of fun, free events and activities.  It's our best lineup yet!
