Kickin' Bootay: Back Outside at Greenlake Park

SWLB's 2010 season is off to a gorgeous start. Sunny mornings, misty mornings, light refreshing rain...all with a view of twinkling Greenlake.

This year, our program has the full support of Seattle Parks. Under their new permit process for outdoor classes like ours, we now lease our stellar location, on the outdoor basketball courts near the Community Center, from the City of Seattle. This legally necessary permit guarantees us use of this location for each of our class times. That's great news!

While we have always respected our shared space within the park by holding classes during uncongested early morning hours and by cleaning up after ourselves (and often, after others), we're happy to be working in tandem with the Seattle Parks Department to sustain the growing popularity of local outdoor fitness programs through regulated park standards and leasing fees.
