	Seattle Parks and Recreation: Denny Park
		Denny Park lies on pioneer David Denny’s land claim, and was first donated to the City by Denny and his wife in 1864 as a cemetery.
		By 1903 the park was in the midst of a residential area so it was replanted in formal design, a shelter and tool house were added, swings, teeter-totters, and a sand court and playfield were installed.
		In 1948, because of the Parks and Recreation Department’s growth in staff (including the new position of Park Superintendent) and stature, a permanent Administration Building (before the department had moved around in rented offices) was built, despite the objections of the Denny family, on Denny Park.

	E. O. Schwagerl and Seattle Parks
		Seattle's founding mothers and fathers, entrepreneurs, city officials, neighborhood activists, and landscape architects of international renown all had a hand in creating local parks.
		Seattle's parks should include what Schwagerl called "attenuated parks"—strips of land "…skirting possibly a shore with its driveway, fringed by a forest, a wood or a cliff." To connect the parks, Schwagerl proposed a system of boulevards, which were to be entirely different than typical city arterials.
		Seattle hired the Olmsted Bros., who were well on their way to becoming the nation's most prestigious landscape designers.

	Article - The Olmsteds and Seattle's Park System: A Brief Perspective by Arthur Lee Jacobson
		A number of such parks, as well as other ones not at all associated with the pecuniary motives of realtors, then began to be either generously donated, or sold to the city.
		There are five basic reasons for the differences: 1.) the type of land that is being converted into parks; 2.) differences in modern park usage; 3.) the prohibitive cost of park design, implementation, administration, supplies and labor; 4.) the need to protect against vandalism; and 5.) the effects of air pollution on plants.
		Seattle's parks are best viewed as continually evolving, much as do individual people or even cities as a whole --with certain changes for the better, others for the worse.
