Seattle Parks and Recreation will provide information about the 2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy and discuss the opportunity for a new neighborhood park in the Greenwood urban village at a community forum on Monday, Nov. 2 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Greenwood Branch Library, 8016 Greenwood Ave. N.

The forum is being held by the Greenwood and Phinney Neighborhood councils.

In November 2008, the Parks and Green Spaces Levy passed by a 59 percent vote. The levy provides $146 million over six years, which includes neighborhood and green space acquisitions and more than 50 named development projects.

The goal of the acquisition team is to acquire properties in areas that have been identified in the Parks and Recreation 2006 Development Plan and Gap Analysis as being deficient relative to the city's comprehensive plan.

The development projects provide improved playfields, reservoir lid parks, forest and stream restoration, community gardens and renovated playgrounds throughout Seattle, according to the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department.
