City of Seattle planning addition of ‘children’s play area’ to popular nude hangout Denny Blaine Park
With a wet El Niño Seattle winter around the corner, you might be thinking of warmer days on the Capitol Hill Riviera and hot summer visits to Dykekiki Beach — also known as Denny Blaine Park.
A new, little talked about plan could change the popular park’s place in Seattle’s cultures and communities that fully celebrate the city’s most public spaces.
On the table at Seattle Parks is a plan that calls for the creation of a small children’s play area in the park “to address,” the parks department says, “the current gap for play areas in the neighborhood.”
The kids play feature could also mark an important change for the park’s longtime destination for enjoying Seattle lake vibes in the nude. Seattle Parks is holding a community meeting on the planned project in early December.
Park visitor Jesse Miranda tipped CHS to the plan
“The disruption greatly worries beachgoers. While nudity isn’t inherently illegal in this state, a complaint of public indecency qualifies as a misdemeanor,” Miranda said. “Our space is being eliminated, and the announcement during winter was likely intentional to keep us uninformed.”
The $550,000 project would add the play area to the northwest edge of the park, one of the only areas of public access to Lake Washington in one of the wealthiest areas of the city.
The park makes every “Seattle nude beach” list and has held its place in a long history as a queer and nude hangout even as neighbors have complained about the crowds over the years.
