Rizal Park (Seattle)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rizal Park, in full Dr. Jose Rizal Park, is a 9.6 acre (39,000 m²) park on the west slope of Beacon Hill in Seattle, Washington, directly across 12th Avenue S. from Amazon.com world headquarters. The land, condemned by the city in 1917 for engineering purposes, was acquired by the Parks Department in 1971, and the park was dedicated eight years later, named after José Rizal, national hero of the Philippines.
Bounded on the west by Interstate 5, on the north by Interstate 90, on the east by 12th Avenue S., and on the south by S. Judkins Street, Rizal Park consists of a grassy upper area with shelter and picnic tables, a wooded hillside, and a dog run at the foot of the hill.
