PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The community hired Artist Sara Mall Johani to design and install three
art components: the plaza incorporates children's games in its
surface and is intended to inspire the invention of new games.
Sara also sculpted a "replica" of the historic Pinehurst
steam tractor that once roamed the neighborhood streets, and installed
columnar basalt "mini" columns at each park entrance.
The Pinehurst Community Council nominated this park development
project through the second cycle of the Pro Parks Levy Opportunity
Fund. Their goal was to create "a quiet, easily accessible,
pedestrian-oriented...park within the Pinehurst neighborhood."
This project developed a park at a site purchased in 2004 by
Seattle Parks, with funding from the first cycle of the Opportunity
Fund and the King County Conservation Futures Tax.
