Esther Short Park was created in 1868. The park has five acres of land
and is the oldest public square in all of Washington. Of course they did
not have restrooms, a park, and drinking fountains when Esther
Short was alive. The park was placed there in 1957. The statue was placed
in the park in 1929. Anybody is allowed in the park at anytime they want.
It is a public park. It is fun to have picnics and play at the park.
The park has an old steam locomotive.
