Montlake Community’s Gateway Parks History

October 13, 2014 by Patricia Shannon-Garvey Leave a Comment

gateway parkDid you know? 

In 1976, W. Smith gave his lots at the east and west corners of 24th Ave E and Boyer Ave E to the Montlake Community Club. He did so because he understood MCC’s interest in protecting its green spaces and “its civic and benevolent direction”.

In 1984, neighbors restored the west corner to a park after a Gas Station was closed and removed.

In 2004, neighbors began restoration of the east corner to a park, removing the jungle of bushes by hand.

In 2011, MCC was awarded a Department of Neighborhoods grant to build a path and install northwest plants in the east park. The neighborhood raised $19,000 in cash and volunteer labor to match the grant.

In 2011, MCC was awarded a Cleanscapes prize to build a Kiosk, two solid cedar benches, and install a memorial plaque to Elizabeth Duncan, who was killed by an out of control car while waiting to cross the intersection.

Our neighbors in our community built these two parks for our enjoyment, safety, and beauty; continued maintenance will honor their dedication.

Please join in helping maintain these parks by donating your time this Saturday.

Larry Hubbell, nature photographer and artist of Montlake, has generously agreed to exhibit a series of his bird photos in the Kiosk at East Gateway Park, beginning with the barred Owl who is living in a tree hollow in Interlaken Ravine.    Larry was featured in the January 9, 2014 issue of Montlake Flyer.  We are very lucky to have Larry as our Montlake neighbor.  Stop by and see his exhibit while walking through your neighborhood park.

Damaged Birch Tree Removed from West Gateway Park

August 29, 2013 by Patricia Shannon-Garvey Leave a Comment

West-Gateway-Park-Birch

The birch tree that was pushed over by a wayward driver some months ago  was expertly removed today by a crew from TREECYCLE, who have previously worked in West Gateway Park.

True to their name the whole tree, minus the stump left in place, was ground into mulch.  This mulch will soon be spread in the park.

Thanks to Patricia Shannon-Garvey for taking care of this potentially dangerous situation and to TREECYCLE for their expertise at a very reasonable cost.
