synopsis
Lake Washington Boulevard winds through this 17-acre forested park named in honor of State Senator and donor J.M. Frink. With a network of paths laid out by the Olmsted Brothers, there were benches, pools and a bridge spanning a dramatic ravine. The park initially had views at the top overlooking Lake Washington to the Cascade Mountains that have since been obscured by the mature native forest.
