FOLLOWUP: Grand opening next month for Hiawatha’s new outdoor workout zone

IMG_4356

Thanks to Mike for the tip that Hiawatha Community Center‘s new outdoor exercise equipment has been installed, by the east lawn. It’s not quite done – still fenced off – so we stopped by Hiawatha (a very busy place this summer – 20 day camps!) today to ask when it will be open to the public. Answer: The grand opening is exactly one month from today, currently planned for 11 am-1 pm Saturday, July 30th (you’ll see posters soon), and the celebration will include something for everyone, including a construction event (“like sandcastle-building, but with cardboard boxes,” we’re told). The Hiawatha installation is one of two announced for West Seattle last year, with the help of nonprofit partners – we’ll be checking on the status of the other one, at Delridge CC.

    No excuses to skip exercise!

    Kind of reminds me of the walking paths with exercise stations from years past.  Weird that there isn’t enough equipment for a comprehensive strength workout.  Someone who really wants to work out won’t go there, but then who are they targeting?

    Wonderful, now our 100 year old Olmsted-designed park has a corner with the ambience of a fitness center at a Red Lion Inn.

      It’s not on a corner.

Sorry, comment time is over.
