In March 2024 a water break was found at the E. C. Hughes playground in West Seattle. Months later with summer heating up and after several repair attempts the park is still without water and without it's wading pool. Today we ask...

Where Is Our Wading Pool‽

Welcome

In March of 2024, there was a water break at the E. C. Hughes Playground, "flooding the whole park." Today, nearly four months later, the water has not been restored to E. C. Hughes.

It begs the question, is Seattle Parks being run in an efficient and effective manner? How are our taxpayer dollars being spent? How do we trust the word of Seattle Parks again?

By The Numbers...

How You Can Help

Seattle Parks is not a very responsive organization. In fairness they are understaffed and underfunded like every other part of our city. If you want change, you are going to have to work at it. Here are some things you can do to help.

  1. Monitor the City's project page: https://www.seattle.gov/parks/allparks/ec-hughes-playground
  2. Contact at Seattle Parks. Ask for a project update and a full accounting of the project's delays.
    They can be reached by email at , or by phone at 206-684-4075
  3. Contact Your Councilmembers. Ask them when Parks will complete the E. C. Hughes Wading Pool project.

  4. Adopt this page. Seattle Parks is responsible for so many parks, and we don't have enough people to watch them all. Join us!
