Crown Hill Park reopens
By Tammy Chang, UW News Lab
Parents, children and community members gathered at Crown Hill Park on Holman Road and 13th Avenue N.W. on Saturday afternoon to celebrate the reopening of the park, which closed last August for construction.
The event featured family fun activities such as a skateboard clinic by Skate-Like-a-Girl, hotdogs, light refreshments, a bounce house, tricycle race and many others.
The new park features a renovated ball field, open lawn area, a skateboard mini-ramp, play equipment, a main pathway throughout the park and landscaping.
Some fencing will remain up through the spring to allow the grass to establish.
Seattle Parks and Recreation announced its renovation project for the park in 2005 but those plane were but on hold when Seattle Public Schools, which owned the land, decided to sell it.
With help from the Small Faces Child Development Center and funding from the 2000 ProParks Levy, the Seattle Parks bought the property in 2008 and revisited the renovation project.
