Woodland Park (Seattle)
Woodland Park is a 90.9-acre park in Seattle's Phinney Ridge and Green Lake neighborhoods that originated as the estate of Guy C. Phinney, lumber mill owner and real estate developer. Phinney died in 1893, and in 1902, the Olmsted Brothers firm of Boston was hired to design the city's parks, including Woodland Park.
The park is split in half by Aurora Avenue N. (Washington State Route 99). Its western half is given over to the Woodland Park Zoo. Its eastern half, which is connected to the zoo by arched bridges over the highway, consists of trails, a picnic area, ballfields, and a miniature golf range, and is contiguous with Green Lake Park.
