The Seward Street Stairs consist of two small staircases
separated by a stretch of concrete sidewalk. Seward Street skirts
a steep hill. The uphill side of Seward Street is too steep for the
sidewalk and the street to connect, so the sidewalk is elevated several
feet above the street. The two small staircases allow access to the
elevated sidewalk.
At the western end of the stairs, you'll find a public
park maintained by local residents. The lower end of the park contains
a curving slide for the children while the upper end is a meticulously
maintained public garden. The park is built on a very steep hill
and anyone with limited energy or mobility will find it difficult to access
more than the lowest section.
If you are are considering a stairwalk, you can start
at the Seward Street Stairs and head toward the park. Turn left and
head up the hill through the park. At the top of the park is Corwin
Street. Turn left on Corwin and you'll shortly find yourself standing
at the top of the Douglass
Street Stairs.
