Title
English: Children playing on playground, Seattle, ca. 1907
Description
English:

In the early days of the 20th century, Seattle's park department started developing playgrounds. This was part of a national trend to provide special play spaces for younger and older children. Sometime around 1907, the city installed swings, ladders, hanging rings, and climbing poles at Lincoln Park. This park, on Capitol Hill, was very popular with neighborhood families. In this postcard, boys and girls play on swings and ladders at Lincoln Park on Capitol Hill. The original photo was taken sometime around 1907 by Seattle photographer Frank Nowell and made into a postcard. In 1922, the name of the park was changed to Broadway Playfield. Later, it became Bobby Morris Playfield.
