Grand Opening of South Lake Union Park

slupark.jpgThe Grand Opening is happening April 30th! This will be the first public opening and we will finally be able to cross the (1/2 million dollar) Safeco pedestrian bridge, according to the Seattle Parks Foundation website. The festivities begin at 11 a.m., with live music, a salmon bake, boat rides, cycling demonstrations, Jones soda and Starbucks coffee, among other things (and prizes!).

I think that this park, when completed in 2010, will be an intregal part of the neighborhood that is undergoing so much change right now. I am happy to see the Parks Foundation retain the maritime history as well. If the artist renderings are true to what it will look like, this is going to be a fun place to spend some time at. And now the masses of people that are slated to be living in all of the Discover SLU projects will have a place to enjoy some greenery.
