Your opinion is needed for South Park!

August 4th, 2011

Your opinion is needed! In 2006, community residents, business leaders, community organizations and youth came together again to address critical issues. The South Park Action Agenda resulted with five distinct community goals and a detailed list of community priorities to implement.

So much has been accomplished since completion of the South Park Agenda in 2006! The Duwamish Bike Trail was completed, the South Park Community Center experienced many improvements and community and youth programs expanded – to name a few of the dozens of successes.

Where are we headed next? Now, we want your input on where to head next. Many of the community priorities in the Action Agenda still need to be implemented – which ones should we focus on over the next one to five years? And should we tackle additional priorities that were not included in the original Action Agenda?

5 Sections of South Park Community Goals from 2006 Action Agenda:
1. Youth Development
2. Environment and Physical Improvements
3. Community Engagement
4. Business and Transportation
5. Public Safety

River City Skatepark – work party to help finish it!!!

November 5th, 2010

Hello good people!
The time is here – the park is almost finished.  The concrete is finished and the park is well on its way to being a citywide fave.  We will be raking the site out on Sunday, trimming back the perimeter grass, and spreading mulch in preparation for topsoil and grass seed next week.  Come on out if you can – cheer us on, pick up a rake or shovel, and check out what your good will made happen.
We’ll be at the park between 10 and 2, skating afterwards if you’re free and it is dry.  Please spread the word far and wide.  We’ll have some tools, but feel free to bring anything you think might be useful.  If you have a weedeater, bring it, we’ll have pre-mix.
Thank You!
