Over the hill — or going into even more golden years?

Discovery Park — the largest Seattle Parks + Rec’s area — turns 50 this year and the city’s throwing a big party to celebrate.

Discovery Park was originally part of Fort Lawton, a US Army base that was active until 2011. When the military base closed, even more land was annexed into the park.
