QUAD
LANDMARK
( 70)
The lovely Quad is home to some of the original campus buildings, many of
them built in a Collegiate Gothic style reminiscent of New England. On sunny days you
can relax on the grass amid Frisbee throwers, sunbathers dodging seminars, earnest
politics undergraduates discussing Obamacare, and young love blossoming under the
cherry trees.
RAVENNA PARK
PARK
( 74)
Just north of the U District is Ravenna, a residential neighborhood that's home
to a lot of professors and university staff. At its heart is Ravenna Park, a lush and wild
park with two playgrounds on either side of the mystery-drenched ravine carved by
Ravenna Creek. Escape the clamor of the city - briefly.
