Over a hundred people unfolded their chairs and blankets to watch the movie “Wall-E” in Ballard’s newest park on Saturday night.

It was the largest event to date at the new park property purchased by the city last year at 9th Ave. NW, just up from 70th St. Earlier in the day, volunteers helped clean up the park, and neighbors enjoyed ice cream while filling out an informal survey on their vision for the property. The movie was organized by the Whittier Heights Community Council. Plans to develop the park will start taking shape this fall with a series of public meetings.
