The Ballard Corners Park is looking much more park-like after 40 or so volunteers blanketed the grounds in hundreds of plants on Sunday.

“We planted somewhere north of 600 plants and 200 bulbs and mulched around them all,” said organizer David Folweiler. The new park on 17th Ave. between 62nd and 63rd is coming together.

Ferns were planted in the rain gardens along 17th Ave. The grass is still not ready for foot traffic — the fence is expected to come down sometime this spring. Meanwhile, organizers say they still need funds for completion of phase 3 and ongoing maintenance. More details on the park’s website right here.
