Almost two years after closure, Seattle's City Hall Park reopens ( www.king5.com )

SEATTLE — A historic downtown Seattle park reopened to the public Tuesday almost two years after it was closed due to crime concerns.

City Hall Park, located on Third Avenue in the Pioneer Square neighborhood, had been closed since August 2021 after years of complaints about public safety.

False ,

The 1.3-acre park will now regularly have games, food trucks, concerts and art installations, according to a city release. Two park rangers will also be staffed during all open hours.

A 1.3 acre park needs a regular staffing of 2 rangers during all open hours? Kind of seems like special treatment for this park.

It does seem excessive but may just be for the soft re-opening. Until they know that the place won’t become overrun with problems again.
