Parks Foundation Monthly walk: Jefferson Park and Cheasty Boulevard Saturday, 10:00-12:00. Jefferson Park is one of Seattle's largest Olmsted-designed parks and the site of future construction projects that could significantly impact the character of the park and the surrounding neighborhood. The tour will emphasize new construction projects currently being completed in the park, the future lidding of the reservoir, and how these projects relate to the original Olmsted design. The tour will also include nearby Cheasty Boulevard and the new EarthCorps project to restore the native woodlands along the boulevard. The tour will be led by Frederica Merril and Myra Latosek of Friends of Jefferson Park, along with representatives from the Seattle Parks Foundation, Friends of Seattle's Olmsted Parks, Seattle Parks and Recreation and EarthCorps.
