On May 4, 2008 the community celebrated the purchase of a large property on 9th NW for a new park. The event was sponsored by Whittier Heights Community Council, Groundswell NW and Friends of the Park. The property was purchased by Seattle Parks and Recreation. Funding sources included the Pro Parks Levy. The event was a chance for citizens to tour the property, and to brainstorm potential park names and uses.
