Public Meeting: Amphitheater Project Concept Design

August 31, 6:00 PM — 8:00 PM

Project consultants ORA Architects and Walker Macy Landscape Architects will present a model and drawings of the conceptual plans being developed this summer in consultation with Seattle Parks and Recreation, the Seattle Landmarks Board and key stakeholder groups.

A short presentation will explain how this design was derived from and addresses recommendations in our Feasibility Study, which gathered input from over 30 performance and arts organizations, as well as from neighbors, acoustic and traffic specialists, and the general public.

When: Wednesday, August 31, 2016, 6:00 PM — 8:00 PM

Picnic in the Park: Big Crowds and Big Fun

What a great picnic! Thank you everyone for coming out to enjoy the summer weather, music and food. The west lawn was just packed with people enjoying the revels of the SANCA circus teams, the smooth live jamming of LoveCityLove, face painting, four food trucks and the Cupcake Royale FREE ICE CREAM!

We’ve posted a few quick pics to our Flickr site here – more to come soon.

Many thanks also to: Aegis Living for sponsoring our music and giving out free flavored water; Anthonio Pettit and the Volunteer Park Conservatory for all the amazing help; Seattle Parks Foundation for giving free t-shirts, and Seattle Parks and Recreation. We couldn’t have done it without you!
