| Title | Photo of children on slide at Juanita Beach, ca. 1956 |
| Date | ca. 1956 |
| Notes | Juanita Beach Park was established in the early 1900's as a privately owned, popular destination beach resort for Seattle-area families. King County acquired the property for the park in 1956. In 2002 the county park was transferred to the City of Kirkland. The King County Parks System photograph collection visually documents park and recreation faculties and programs in King county from 1948 to 1998. The collection's seven sub series reflect the activities of King County Parks across this time period; parks sites and facilities; regional trails; swimming pools; recreation programs; major local or regional events sponsored by King County Parks (including Junior Olympics, Washington Games for disabled Youth, Marymoor Heritage Festival, the Return to Newcastle, and the King County Fair); administration and staff photographs; and photographs of miscellaneous subjects. |
