About

Baker Park renovation opened in 2020. Seattle Parks and Recreation bought the property southeast of the park, expanding it by .23 acres. The expanded park offers many features, including a new play structure with butterfly wings component, swings, large open lawn, a picnic area with BBQ, fitness equipment, and a totem pole plaza. The new totem pole by Haida carver, Fred Lauth, features three "watchmen" at the top, seen as symbolic eyes on Baker Park, playing a role similar to that of watchmen on other Haida poles. All improvements were made to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

Baker Park is one of 14 pesticide-free parks in Seattle.
