Anderson Park is a public park in the city of Redmond, Washington. [2] The site was acquired in 1928 as Redmond City Park before being expanded and improved through the economic response of the Federal Works Progress Administration in 1938. [3] The park was given its present name in 1946, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [4] [5]
The official name of the park is Albert Anderson Memorial Park; it is still sometimes referred to by the original name of Redmond City Park. [2] Albert Anderson was key to the modern redevelopment of the park through his community work regarding park projects and volunteer coordination. [2] Two cabins are within the park; they were formerly used for public events and services, hosted the Redmond Senior Center, and housed various other city administrative offices prior to the development of city hall.
