About Miller Playfield in Seattle
Miller Park is a public recreational area located in Seattle, Washington, situated between 19th and 21st Avenues in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The park spans 7.9 acres and offers a variety of facilities for community use.
Originally established in 1910 on land donated by Mary M. Miller in memory of her son, the park has grown and evolved over the years. It was initially designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers, who were instrumental in shaping many of Seattle's parks and green spaces.
The park features a large open field that was converted from dirt to turf in 2013, enhancing its usability for various sports and activities. Adjacent to the field is the Miller Community Center, built in 1998, which provides indoor recreational facilities and community programs.
Miller Park serves as a valuable green space for the surrounding residential area, which includes a mix of single-family homes and multi-family housing. The park has played a significant role in the neighborhood's history and development, adapting to meet the changing needs of the community over time.
The park is designed to cater to visitors of all ages, with amenities for both active recreation and passive enjoyment. Its proximity to Meany Middle School makes it a popular spot for students and families, effectively serving as an extended playground for the school.
