Looking ahead to what’s up tonight:

PLAYGROUND BRAINSTORMING: Highland Park Elementary‘s playground-project committee invites everyone to help them brainstorm:

We are looking for in-the-box and out-of-the-box ideas, large and small. We won’t turn away any ideas in this session. We hope that by engaging the larger community of Highland Park influencers, we will get great ideas that we couldn’t come up with ourselves. Kids are welcome. We plan on showing a movie during our brainstorming activity.

5-7 pm at the school library. (1012 SW Trenton)

FERRY TASK FORCE MEETING: 7 pm at Fauntleroy Church Fellowship Hall, all are welcome at the first meeting of the citizens’ advisory committee set up to help fix problems related to the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth ferry route. (9140 California SW)

ALL-AGES TRIVIA: 7:30 pm at The Skylark in North Delridge. Prizes! (3803 Delridge Way SW)

PUB QUIZ: 8 pm at Shadowland in The Junction. 21+. (California SW/SW Oregon)

LIVE MUSIC: Cracker Factory at West Seattle Brewing in The Triangle, 8 pm. (4415 Fauntleroy Way SW)

PREVIEW THE REST OF THE WEEK … via our complete calendar.

Anyone know why the whole Highland Park Playground is being sealed off even before ideas are brainstormed? Or know how long it will last? I walk through there everyday and saw no notice of any changes. I hope it won’t be out of commission very long.

The brainstorming meeting we held last night was to build a playground for Highland Park Elementary School.

I just saw the fences today too. The city park and the school itself are two separate entities, so it is something having to do with the city park aspect of things. As a parent of two kids at HPE I too hope it won’t be out of commission very long. The city park is a popular spot for our kids to play after school and although the kids rarely have access to the park during the school day (again, its a separate entity) many students and their families utilize the space after school hours.

The city park has an improvement project:

I’m sorry to say that city departments don’t notify media about project starts as much as they used to, so if this is the start of that, we don’t have any info … but I’ll check on it with Parks tomorrow.
