We're so grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate this exciting milestone with us and help make the event such a success. Seeing our community come together to enjoy this beautiful new space made the day even more special.

We know you’re excited to check out the new additions at Melissa Lake Park and enjoy all the exciting activities, including face painters, balloon twisters, caricature artists, a bounce house, a 24-foot rock wall, market and food vendors, and fishing … but make sure you have a parking plan!

Parking will not be allowed on either side of Liberty Way during the event. However, there are 380 parking spaces available at the park, with overflow parking available at North Creek Elementary School. Please note that there will not be a shuttle service from the overflow lot, so those parking there should plan to walk to Melissa Lake Park.

Thank you for helping us keep traffic flowing safely and smoothly for everyone attending!
