SURVEY: If Alki Community Center offered activities and classes again, what would you want to see?

The Alki Community Center building has been closed during the rebuild of neighboring Alki Elementary, but the city told us earlier this year that when it reopens, they’re just planning to use it as a child-care center, as it was before the closure. However, the Alki Community Council has been talking with the city about bringing back some activities and classes. So if that happened, the ACC is asking Alki community members, what would you want to see? They’re circulating a short survey that will be open for just under a week and a half, until Friday, June 12 – you can reply to it here.

Bulletproofing Your Walls and Windows would be one that I would be interested in.

Youth activities all around, ping pong, foosball, soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball, pickleball, many of the activities that were offered in local Seattle Parks and Rec in the 70’s-80’s. The opportunity to check out field equiptment to use on the play ground after school.Adult classes, again like the 70’s – 80’s. Exersize classes, sport offerings….A full time community center, working hand in hand with the bath house art studio and the natural environment that surrounds our community center. A place to go after school, to visit all summer long, bike rides to colman from the rec center. Summer days at colman. Please don’t tease me by even asking these questions. Is it true the words Alki Community Center are going to come back into the community conversation?
