HISTORY

The park was donated to the City in 1907 by John M. Frink, Washington state Senator and founder of the Washington Iron Works. A thickly overgrown ravine, the park was spruced up in 1909 for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition with footbridges, paths, benches and a bridge over the ravine.

In 1999, neighbors formed Friends of Frink Park (www.frinkpark.org) and developed the Frink Park Concept Plan, followed by the beginnings of native habitat restoration and over 3,000 feet of improved hiking trails.
