So "Yakima Park" was the camping area around Sunrise? Did the designation get dropped when they removed the cabins? I see some references to "the road to Yakima Park" sometimes & I was never sure what they meant.
Yakima park is marked on my TOPO! maps. It is basically the whole Sunrise area.

A "Park" in this context refers to a large meadow area. See: Paradise Park, Grand Park, Spray Park, Van Trump Park, Pyramid Park, Mist Park, Sunset Park, etc. The name isn't related to the cabins in any way other than that's where the cabins were situated (though perhaps the development was named for Yakima Park itself).

To add to Schroder's comment, here is a small blurb about the cabin rental and what eventually became of the cabins. About half way down the article. Interesting history.
