Fairmount Playground: Just a week and a half to wait

After another question about how much longer work will continue at Fairmount Playground – “we’re anxious to get our playground back,” as the asker explained – we checked today with project manager Kelly Davidson. She tells WSB the work should be done in about a week and half, because she is “expecting the site to open on the 15th.” (Two public meetings were held last winter; we covered them here and here, and you can see the final Parks and Green Spaces Levy-funded design here.)

Thanks for getting us an update, WSB. I’m happy to hear that we’re getting close to completion on the playground and I’m sure my son will be excited to test out the new equipment.

Any info about the park at Myrtle Reservoir? The Seattle Park’s Dept website says completion September 2010/ opening date October 2010 so they must also be close.

Actually if you look at it today – it was there yesterday ’cause I checked then too – it says the completion date has been extended to Oct. 7th (Thursday) for some irrigation work. Nonetheless, I have a message out to the project manager to see if a date’s been set for the big party since heaven knows we’d want to see that before La Nina Storms To End All Storms set in … TR
