Overlook Park

By the late 19th century, Sunset Hill's status as a lofty Olympus for Emerald City's plutocrats had been firmly established. The city-founding Malory family believed the Hill’s awe-inspiring sunsets should be viewable by rich and poor alike, and to address the disparity, they conditionally deeded the western portion of Sunset Hill overlooking the river and lake areas to the city provided it was maintained as a public park.
For more than a century, Overlook Park has offered a place to relax, play, contemplate, and reconnect with family and friends. In keeping with the Malorys’ intent, it remains a place where all of Emerald City can gather. A stroll around the Park reveals picnicking blue-collar families enjoying buckets of fast-food fried chicken next to millionaires being served brie and Beaujolais by servants. Overlook Park is where a well-heeled captain of industry wearing two grand in running gear jogs past a half-dozen workstudy college students playing hacky-sack.
