Three Two One…Play! The new playground at Hillcrest Park is open to the public! It was so fun to see families playing on the slides and swings at the ribbon cutting on Saturday. The new ADA accessible playground was designed with all users in mind by Northwest Playground with input from the community, including guidance from Cascadia Clubhouse and SPARC. It was funded by the Levy for Basic Public Safety, Essential Services and Improvements that voters approved last year. Share this with someone who might want to play here 💚
