Redmond’s Spiritbrook Park Makeover-Meeting on July 30, 2009

Spiritbrook Park

Redmond’s parks have been a hot topic for me to write about on this blog over the last week.  It’s somewhat fitting, since the weather is so hot and people are out in the parks in droves. Last week was Redmond’s Westside Park, now it’s Spiritbrook Park’s turn for the makeover meeting. The Redmond Capital Improvement Plan, better known as the CIP is calling for a makeover for both parks.  Given the popularity of the Grasslawn Park makeover, it’s a smart thing to do and will make Spiritbrook park that much more desirable.  It’s huge selling point for Spiritbrook homeowners that not only is there a park right in the neighborhood, there’s also the elementary school.

Marymoor Park, the key place where dogs want to have fun in King County.  The dog park is doggie heaven or a doggie amusement park, according to 2 legged critters interpretation of the fun the 4 legged variety is having at the park

The dog park gets a lot of use from dog lovers all over the county.  Now King County is cracking down on parking and fining people who do not pay for parking while at the dog park.

Since 2003, people parking at the park are supposed to pay $1.00.  Recently, King County has been enforcing the parking fee, charging a $35.00 fine if caught not paying the $1.00 fee.  Since the county is in dire financial shape and people and their dogs do benefit from the park, I think it’s a good way to obtain some badly needed revenue.  What do you think?
