The playground behind the Ravenna Eckstein Community Center has a lovely lush coating of sod:
It looks lovely. Can’t wait to wiggle my bare toes in it, or perhaps take a roll down the hill pictured in the background. If no one’s looking, that is.

Are you SURE the sprinklers can’t reach any farther? Really?
The playground is still closed, at least according to the big chain link fences everywhere. That hasn’t stopped a lot of kids — and their parents, great example setting there — from sneaking in and trying out the equipment.
We imagine that a kick-off celebration is in the works, and soon. We’ll post what we know when we know it (and not a moment later).
UPDATE: A little exploration of the Seattle Parks & Recreation Fall 2008 Play! Book for the northeast reveals that the playground will be dedicated on September 5 during the annual Summer’s Final Fling. Be there from 6-8 PM for “carnival games, music, magic, picnic fare, and more”.
