Grand opening of Ella Bailey Park this Saturday

The community is invited to join Mayor Greg Nickels and Seattle Parks and Recreation for a grand opening celebration at the new Ella Bailey Park on Saturday, May 12, beginning at 1:30 p.m. at 2601 W. Smith St.

Ella Bailey Park, formerly, Magnolia Elementary Playfield, is a new $1.4-million Pro Parks neighborhood park development that transformed a 2.4-acre asphalt playground into a vibrant park with panoramic views of downtown Seattle and Mount Rainier.

The celebration will include an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, music by La Bande Pastiche and children's entertainment including face painting and a balloon clown. Magnolia Soccer Club will devise skills challenges for young children.
