Seattle – Tomorrow, Mayor Bruce Harrell will join Seattle Parks and Recreation, the Garfield Super Block Coalition, and City, County, State, and community partners for a ceremonial groundbreaking event at the Garfield Super Block. 

This community-initiated renovation project addresses the unfinished portion of the 2005 Garfield Super Block Master Plan. The renovated park will improve access for multi-generational recreation, with a new play area for different age groups and abilities, a new restroom building, new public art, and an accessible .34-mile loop path around the park connecting all the amenities in the block.  

The Garfield Super Block comprises the Garfield Community Center, Medgar Evers Pool, tennis courts, Garfield Playfield with its historic ball fields, the Teen-Life Center, the Quincy Jones Performing Arts Center, and Garfield High School's track and field facilities.
