'' sI Figure 16 the Esplanade Winds through Boxcar Park The Esplanade-The jewel of The Esplanade is Boxcar Park, a two-acre park opening to the Snohomish River on the western edge of the pier with a natural children's playground, an outdoor live performance venue, kite flying and picnicking terraces called the Sunset Steps(i.e.,terraced to optimize the westerly sunset views at the water). This Park is informal; designed to extend its sister park, The Jetty, across the river through its open spaces. The Esplanade trail meanders through the park separating the uses on each side of the trail; Rocky Islands play ground on the west and the live performance play house — Weyerhaeuser Muse, to the east. Assuring that the marina area appeals to children is a priority for the Port of Everett. Rocky Islands provides a series of miniature islands and provide a treasure trove of natural tidal pools to showoff marine habitat and allow for memorable searches for sea creatures, driftwood fort building or marine biology talks. The grassy hills terraced to make up Sunset steps give beginner kite boarders a location to practice maneuvers and enjoy a picnic before heading out to The Jetty. The Muse continues its valuable community use through a formal garden, community meeting spaces and a stage for concerts, events and outdoor screens to show marine-movies for guests at the dock. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines - 57 -
