Love to play piano? Love to be outdoors? Well then, the Snoqualmie Parks Department has a surprise for you…. something you may have already noticed and wondered, “How’d that get there?”
This week the Parks Department placed a piano in the Railroad Park Gazebo, which is located downtown near the corner of King Street and Railroad Ave/SR 202. [The gazebo recently got a new roof – so there’s no danger of unforeseen leaks leading to possible piano damage.]
The City says the piano is for the whole community to enjoy and all ages are invited to play anything from Chopsticks to Beethoven – and it will be there all summer.
Parks Crew Chief Larry White helped sparked the Piano in the Park idea after coming across a donated upright piano. As an added bonus you can enter to win a dinner for two at the Woodman Lodge by sending a YouTube video of yourself, friend or family member playing the Gazebo piano to Larry White at lwhite@ci.snoqulamie.wa.us by August 31st.
There is a lovely bird and moon sculpture on the corner (in a column form) by the gazebo but I missed seeing the artist’s name and the title of the work. Would you, please, let me know?
Thank you!
I have just recently noticed the piano is now removed I was wondering why and another thing is I have recently seen parents let their child jump on the piano and it’s just really sad to see that they let them just trash that nice piano
