Starbucks Ultimate Park Makeover - White Center Heights

We have 168 hours to rebuild White Center Heights Park before June 15th, 2007. Join Us!

Starbucks Neighborhood Parks Program has hand picked King County’s White Center Heights Park to support a $550,000 facelift!

Just like the reality TV shows featuring extreme home makeovers in only a few days, the White Center community is getting a new park, thanks to the support of the Starbucks Neighborhood Parks Program.

The underdeveloped 5.57 acre park is located at a hub of activity for children and families. White Center Heights Elementary School, the Boys & Girls Club and Greenbridge Development are across the street.

The White Center CDA and King County Parks are host to the "Starbucks Ultimate Park Makeover" - a volunteer event in June with the mission of building a park, from scratch, in seven days flat!

Info

Open space and parks are so critical to a healthy community. In White Center, we lack clean, safe areas for our children to play in. Parks are also important to community members, as they become community gathering places to share information, catch up on the latest neighborhood news or simply, as a place to eat lunch or drink coffee.

-Aileen Balahadia, Executive Director White Center Community Development Association (WCCDA)
