We drove by Ballard Corners Park and noticed work has finally begun.

After years of planning and fundraising, some of the first construction work is underway at 17 Ave. between 62nd and 63rd St. A trackhoe has placed some landscaping rocks on the property, and it’s starting to take shape.

While organizers have sufficient funds for the first phase of construction, they’re still raising money for the rest. To learn more and donate, visit here.
