Ballard Corners Park

Current Status

THE PARK IS OPEN, and the sun is out!

Go Play.


Tiles are still available, and the deadline is extended until we reach a funding decision on stage 3 as that will determine where the tiles will be placed. So in the meantime visit our Tile page, and remember $100 for one tile, $150 for two copies (one for home and one for the park?).

Also please remember to continue our “low stress” fund-raising activities of collecting Ballard Market receipts and shopping at Amazon using the links on this page as they continue to garner consistent amounts of money that are needed for stage 3 and ongoing maintenance.

From Barker, here are some documents for the design and construction of Phase 3 - to include the corner store and:
• Another bench in the south raingarden
• More trees (near benches and behind the furniture) and plantings
• Lawn restoration
• Sealing the foundation walls to protect against graffiti
• Fill in the gap between the sidewalk and the pad for the bench in the north raingarden

Skater!

I have been waiting to see skaters at the park.  This is the first one I spotted “riding the rail”.  I pinned him and his buddy down.  I asked them whether the “skate spot” turned out OK.  They gave it a thumbs up, saying it was very smooth.  I took it as a compliment.

Seattle Times Sketcher

The Seattle Times Sketcher feature visits our park! A room with a view at Ballard Corners Park includes a sketch of the park (please visit the link rather than me copying the picture here).
