We’re preparing an application for the Parks and Green Spaces Levy Opportunity Fund to bring adult (senior) exercise equipment and a children’s playground to Hubbard Homestead Park. Please email me (eric@pinehurstseattle.org) to be added to an email list if you are interested in the project. Also, please let me know if you are interested in volunteering to make this a reality. We need volunteers both short-term to help with preparing the application, and if we get funds, long-term to see the project through to completion. Any help is much appreciated.
P.S.
The skate park is still in the works. I’ll let you know when I have more details.
Thank you for your work on this, Eric!
Thank you for starting on this needed work. The final version of Hubbard Homestead Park was a big disappointment for most people. It’s going to take a lot of community effort to fix what the Parks Department botched.
Please refer to this website for current info on Hubbard Park and the process that lead up to what we now see. There was a lot of community outreach on this, but in the end the folks that wanted a passive park won the day.
It isn’t fair to blame Parks entirely for this. I went to all of the meetings, including the PATs and the support just wasn’t there.
Yes, it is going to take a HUGE amount of effort and much grant writing to get what we need at this park. Know that it takes a village and it’s never too late to make this happen.
