In 1909 the Eastlake Trolley up University Way reached the end of its line along the southern rim of Ravenna Park. Here as it turns towards 15th Avenue. N.E. it passes the rustic gate to the nearly new Cowen Park at Ravenna Boulevard. The line of the original 15th Avenue pedestrian bridge across the ravine can be followed – barely – between the trolley car and the tall fir tree at the center of the scene.
