Gas Works Park in Seattle, Washington, is an unusual public park located on the site of a former coal gasification plant. The 19-acre site was acquired by the city in 1962, seven years after the plant shut down, and opened to the public as a park in 1975.
The park incorporates much of what was left of the gasification plant - the boiler house was converted to a picnic shelter complete with tables and fire grills, while the exhauster-compressor building was transformed into an open-air play barn, housing a maze of brightly painted machinery for children.
