Kinnear Park is a 14.1-acre (57,000 m2) park on the southwest slope of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington, United States located between W. Olympic Place on the northeast, W. Mercer Place and Elliott Avenue W. on the southwest, the 9th Avenue W. right of way on the west, and the 6th Avenue W. right of way on the east.
It is two-tiered, with a lawn and open space atop the cliff, and a wooded area below.
While work on the park had already begun when E. O. Schwagerl was appointed Seattle's superintendent of parks in 1892,[2] he greatly influenced its design as its landscape architect, directing the planting and the construction of various amenities.
[3] In 1903, John C. Olmsted was commissioned to prepare a comprehensive parks plan for Seattle.
