Broadway Hill Park, Capitol Hill’s next public green-space project, has been selected for a big injection of cash thanks to the Seattle Parks and Recreation Opportunity Fund. The Friends of Broadway Hill Park group shares the good news, below. By the way, you can join them in celebrating the funding as the lot at Federal and Republican again hosts the community spaces for Capitol Hill Garage Sale Day on Saturday, June 8th. Sign up for the big day here… now!

Broadway Hill Park has been recommended to receive $750,000 from the Opportunity Fund by the Parks and Green Spaces Levy Oversight Committee!!  Assuming that the City Council and Mayor approve the committee’s recommendations, the park’s construction WILL BE FULLY FUNDED and will very likely begin next year!!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this a reality.  The impact of this funding is huge — it changes the course of this project and means that our neighborhood park will be constructed several years in advance of when it would have been, had we been forced to raise the funding ourselves.

We were only a competitive applicant for the Opportunity Fund because of all the people who volunteered their time over the past few years.  Please take a moment to congratulate yourself and your neighbors, and see the final list for yourself below!
