Park(ing) Day on Delridge at Boren STEM K-8 School

We worked with the school and PTSA to celebrate Park(ing) Day!

First graders having a blast in the demonstration “protected bike lane”.

Kids and parents came over to see the demonstration protected bike lane and play games.  Thanks to Bell Helmets, we had 50 helmets to give to excited kids who need them. Teacher Adrianne brought over her whole first grade class and their “fence” of wishes and goals.

Thank you to all participants!

Doug Ollerenshaw led the effort. Michael Oxman, arborist, brought the plants that protected the bike lane. Kathy Dunn brought a great library of children’s books featuring bike riding.   Bob Winship led the helmet fitting. Kate Wells, Joe Laubach and Don Brubeck helped with games and helmets and info for parents. SDOT and Seattle Neighborhood Greenways provided the bike lane supplies.
