Features
[edit]Yesler Terrace Park features a playground and climbing structures, a (not always functional) restroom,[6][7] a spray park, a turf hill,[8] and a small soccer field.[9] The park is considered accessible and inclusive. According to Seattle's Child, the park "has stacked rubber rings that a wheelchair user or a kid with cerebral palsy can climb. Someone who needs more challenge can choose the complex net climbers. This park also has a saucer swing that fits bigger bodies and provides sensory play as well as a spinner designed at transfer-height where everyone's facing each other."[10]
Ela Lamblin's stainless steel gazebo structure Whirl Piece: Current Events (2005) is installed in the park.[11] The spray pad has red and gray stone sculptures by Christine Bourdette.[12][13]
