Fulfilling a long dream of the school community, the Concord International Elementary PTA, Seattle Parks Foundation, and Seattle Public Schools worked together to reimagine a previously muddy, underused field and transform it into an accessible, dynamic play space. The design was the result of engaged community design sessions and close collaboration with the goal of creating a fun, useful, and functional outdoor space to facilitate and encourage play, activity, and physical and mental health. After six years, the result is a well-loved mini-pitch soccer zone, free play space, a bike and walking loop, a mural-covered ball wall, and other creative art elements designed by and with the students. Thanks to the support of many public sector funders and private donors, these school grounds lift the spirits and can be enjoyed (after school hours) by the whole community. Every donation helps maintain and activate this important space for everyone to enjoy.
