The contractor's work was completed at the end of December 2006.
Artist Sara Mall Johani has worked throughout the late spring and summer of 2007 to install three art components in the park: her work finishing the plaza incorporates children's games in the plaza's surface and is intended to inspire the invention of new games. She has also sculputed a "replica" of the historic Pinehurst steam tractor that once roamed the neighborhood streets, and installed columnar basalt "mini" columns at each park entrance. > more (PDF)

The Pinehurst Community Council nominated this park development
project through the second cycle of the Pro Parks Levy Opportunity
Fund.
Their goal is 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.
This is a community-initiated project to create a new park for the Pinehurst neighborhood.
September 2005, the Seattle City Council unanimously approved projects to be funded through the second cycle of the Pro Parks Levy Opportunity Fund, including $100,000 for this park development project.
