<p>Lincoln Park on Capitol Hill, so named because of the Lincoln Reservoir near Broadway and Pine Streets, once had many attractions for Seattle's children: a wading pool, sand pile, playground, and large ball field.  As the city grew and the neighborhood's population changed, there were fewer families with young children. By the 1930s,  complaints were heard about deteriorating playground equipment, and a WPA project completely renovated and changed the park, which by then was known as Broadway Playfield, now Bobby Morris Playfield.</p>
