Friends of Detective Cookie Chess Park

The Friends of Detective Cookie Chess Park is planning Phase 4 of the project. The Detective Cookie Chess Park located at 9100 Rainer Ave S envisions a inter-generational, multicultural community space where neighbors can gather and play chess while honoring Detective Cookie, a local policewoman, who started a youth Chess Club over 12 years ago in Rainier Beach. Phase 4 will focus on initial construction of the park beginning with demo, grading and drainage, and utilities. This project is expected to be completed in the late Fall of 2021.
