The Pro-Parks Levy is expiring this year. The Pro-Parks Levy funded the acquisition of the two lots that are being transformed into Ballard's newest park. The levy also supplied $150,000 toward the development of the park. That money is funding our Phase 1 construction.

In the process of helping to create Ballard Corners Park, I have been excited by the involvement of the community. It's been wonderful to see all the folks turn out for our design workshops and the playground installation. Not only does the park provide a place to rest and play, it serves to strengthen community bonds.

As Ballard and the rest of Seattle becomes more densely populated, the need for open and green space increases. If you support the creation of additional green space, such as Ballard Corners Park, please support Proposition 2. The campaign website is here: http://keep.seattleparksforall.org/
