Seattle Parks and Recreation is hosting open houses throughout the city to encourage you to come and learn about the new six-year, $146 million 2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy. There is funding for new neighborhood park land and more than 50 named projects, which include 23 playground renovations, two parks on top of reservoirs, four playfield improvements, forest and stream restoration projects, and funding for development in Discovery, Magnuson and Jefferson parks and in the Washington Park Arboretum. To see the named projects in your neighborhood visit http://seattle.gov/parks/levy/default.htm.

In Crown Hill, we are particularly interested in speaking up for the funds and designs for the Crown Hill Park adjacent to the former school.  CHNA encourages residents to attend one of the meetings and learn the process for implementing this local project using the available levy funds.
