Description

Hello All,
The expansion of Greenwood Park continues to move from plans to reality. Construction of the community garden is now complete thanks to a Department of Neighborhoods Matching Grant and tons of volunteer hours. To find out about garden plot availability visit the City P-Patch Program web site at
http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/ppatch/signupPpatch.htm

Multi-use Sport Courtyard
VGP has raised funds to build the basketball/soccer/hockey courtyard in the park across from the North Seattle Boys and Girls Club thanks to a grant from King County and a second from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. Watch for construction this Summer and join us for our 4th Annual Party in the Park on July 22 where we plan to celebrate its completion.

What’s left?
Volunteers are working with a local sculptor to add artwork to the fence around the community garden. Please contact us if you want to grind, bend, and weld metal for the art fence.

We are also exploring opportunities to incorporate art into the sport court. We are looking to raise another $1,500 complete that project.
Please support us by making a secure donations online through the Phinney Neighborhood Association: https://phinney.ejoinme.org/vgpdonations

About VGP
This effort is being led by Vision Greenwood Park, a volunteer group of neighbors and representatives of local groups. With recent concerns about the financial operations of some non-profit organizations, we have posted reports of how we have managed our grants (See the Files page).

Based on input from the neighborhood through a series of community meetings, we developed a Conceptual Plan for expansion and improvements for the park. You can download the plan in the Files section of this website. It is titled "Greenwood Park Master Plan 2009."

--Please email this group or visiongreenwood@gmail.com for more information.
