It was Lincoln Park up until 2005 when the reservoir was covered over and the park built on top of it.

Bobby Morris playfield (which is what you see in the photo) is still called that, but they replaced the sod with the artificial grass. Actually, it's not that bad, not as plasticy as Astroturf, and with the drainage layer, quite pleasant to stroll across, even in a hard rain.

I moved from Seattle some 30 years or so ago. Seeing that photo sure brought back the memories though...

Not so much any more, but plenty of artisanal ice creameries, bookstores, sex clubs and bike shops to make up for it.

PaulBarwick, I would have thought artificial turf and blow jobs were mutually exclusive. I'm thinking shady glen, babbling brooks, and lots of butterflies, but then I read a lot of chick lit...

Would it help any to know that's fake grass (and I don't mean "potpourri")?

I KNEW you were going to say that, gus, as soon as I hit "post", I thought "Fark! Snow, snoooow...!"
