Saturday’s sunshine brought lots of visitors to West Seattle’s new Myrtle Reservoir Park. These photos show it’s a viewpoint as well as a playground: The top photo, shared by Andy Silber, shows the view toward downtown, looking over the new play equipment; earlier in the week, Val took photos including this next one, showing the place markers at the viewpoint from which the top photo was taken:

The inscriptions are part of what Seattle Parks describes as “an interpretive element” labeling the area’s highest hills – and as Val points out, “We win at 520′!” (The nearby 35th/Myrtle water towers are at the highest elevation within the city limits, which is where High Point gets its name. Park access by the playground/path is at 35th/Willow.) The park’s official dedication is not yet scheduled.
