A fairly straightforward grab in a nieghborhood park that was once a garbage dump. Note: Please observe park hours of 4 AM to 11:30 PM.
Judkins is a multipurpose park corridor in the Central Area. Its six-block strip of green enlivens the Rainier Valley with picnic, play and sports areas - and with grass, grass, and more grass..
Both an abundance of facilities and attractive landscaping here draw residents from all over the Central Area and Rainier Valley all year long. The park is kept well lighted at night; a veritable forest of lamps.
Judkins Park originally was a deep ravine. As the area became more settled, the City began filling the ravine with garbage, to create more play space. The odors became problematic, and the City then added dirt on top of the other fill. Through the 1930's, area residents continued to complain of odors from the playground. After years of grading and adding dirt fill, the area was finally made into a park and playfield and named after Norman B. Judkins, a pioneer realtor.
