Burien will celebrate Arbor Day on April 13 by marking the grand opening of the Mathison Park improvements.
The park celebration will be held at 10 a.m. at the six-acre park located at 533 S. 146th Street. Members of the Mathison family will help plant a Red Vine Maple tree at the park at 11 a.m.

Refreshments will be served and participants can enjoy the play equipment or wander the two trails that were recently completed.
Funding for the park improvements was provided by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Funding Board, King County YSFG and the City of Burien.
