Where Is Our Playground‽

Welcome to the project. Here we try to hold Seattle Parks accountable for the numerous delays and promises that they fail to keep. If you have a park or playground in mind that Seattle Parks has been ignoring for too long, or that Parks is hoping you are not paying attention to, please create a pull request against this repo with a new page detailing the situation in your park. Use the page to “get the information out” to your community, demanding that Seattle Parks take notice!

Join Us!

• If you want to help out, you can open up a new Issue in GitHub. Let us know who you are and what park page you want to help out with.

• If you have a new park you would like added to the site you can open a new Issue in GitHub.

Once you get set up you can start with some basic park page maintenance.

• New parks go in /_parks
• you can use /_parks/_template.html to get started
• all images go in /assets/images/<NAME OF PARK HERE>/ in order to get pulled into the LFS repository
