Seattle's Northgate neighborhood is primed for a recreational revamp thanks to the partnership between Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Seattle Kraken's One Roof Foundation. Announced last week, the two have set their sights on upgrading the Hubbard Homestead Sports Court, and they're looking for your two cents. If you're intrigued, clear your calendar for Thursday, August 28, from 4 to 6 p.m., because that's when the community open house kicks off at the Northgate Community Center.
The game plan includes more than just giving the current basketball court a facelift; they're hyping up the joint with a new goal that caters to both basketball and street hockey enthusiasts. Well, it's not just about fun and games, the upgrade is meant to bolster outdoor activities, and let's face it, who doesn't enjoy a shinny place to play? The funding muscle behind this venture comes from One Roof Foundation.
Now, if you're one for official statements, Seattle Parks and Recreation got the lowdown from some top brass. "We are excited to partner with One Roof Foundation to bring an enhanced recreational space to the Northgate community," AP Diaz, Superintendent of Seattle Parks and Recreation, said on record. As the project's cheerleader-in-chief, Diaz is stoked about boosting community bonds with these new digs. Teaming up with the foundation, says Mari Horita, Executive Director of One Roof Foundation, is a power play for them, given the proximity to their HQ and the area's booming diversity. Boy, it seems they're genuinely jazzed about this.
