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.
