Starting at 11 a.m., guest speakers such as Seattle Parks Superintendent Tim Gallagher, State Representative Mary Lou Dickerson, State Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles, Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Director Stella Chao and
King County Councilmember Larry Phillips will all take the podium. Veraci Pizza will be giving away free slices to celebrate the new park and Groundswell NW will be there celebrating 20 years of creating parks and open space in Ballard.

I had the great pleasure of visiting your wonderful, unique, fun park last summer while visiting my sisters there in Ballard- that had to be the CrAziEsT swing I have ever experienced! Thanks for the wonderful memories made for me, my son, my grandson and Sisters!
