Where Is Our Playground is a loose group of citizens, each of whom cares about our park system, and cares that Seattle Parks has not been effective in their communications with the citizens of Seattle. A park is added to our "radar" when an individual brings it to our attention. We then ask that individual to gather some information, and join us in maintaining these pages. Some contributors can code, others just gather information about a specific park or two. If you are interested in joining us, you may contribute via GitHub.
