Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) invites the community to a ribbon-cutting celebration for Dr. Blanche Lavizzo Park, in Seattle’s Central District on Saturday, November 18, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The event will feature music, food and an opportunity to explore the renovated park. This park renovation was an exciting collaboration between SPR, KABOOM! and The Car Max Foundation.
This is a kid-designed park built by more than 80 volunteers and will spark joy and foster a sense of belonging for the Central District Community neighborhood. The new playground is a collaborative effort by community members and organizations including, KABOOM!, The CarMax Foundation, The McKinney Center for Community & Economic Development, the Associated Recreation Council, Kindness for Kaneon, the Seattle Conservation Corps and scores of community volunteers.
