Want some solid bragging rights?

A new park is opening Sat., Oct. 8 in Lake City and Seattle Parks and Rec lwants locals to help name it.

The department will be looking at names that denote geographic location, cultural or historical significance, natural features, community identity, or a significant person who’s contributed to local parks.

Here are some names we’re pitching in:

  • SEAtoday is the Best Newsletter Park | We’ll humbly suggest it could fit into the cultural category.
  • World Series Champs 20XX Park | Don’t wanna jinx anything, so the last two numbers are a mystery — historically significant.
  • No Umbrellas Needed Park | How Seattle is that?
  • Lake-rs City Park | If we can’t have the Sonics...

You can submit your own suggestions by emailing paula.hoff@seattle.gov or join in on the big opening day fun:

📍Name TBD’ed Park, 12510 33rd Ave. NE
📆 Sat., Oct. 8
⏰ 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
