Our Mission
Denny Blaine Park for All  is an association of concerned neighbors dedicated to creating a welcoming and safe environment at Denny Blaine Park. Our mission is to ensure that all visitors, including families, the LGBTQ community, and neighbors, can enjoy the park's natural beauty and tranquility. We are committed to fostering respect and civility, making Denny Blaine Park a welcoming space for everyone.

From Playground to Policy Since the December public meeting about the playground proposal, progress has been made in addressing community concerns at Denny Blaine Park. We are actively negotiating a park policy that will outline a detailed code of conduct for the park. Upcoming sessions will focus on refining this policy so it works for the needs of all park users.

This policy is being developed in collaboration with the Friends of Denny-Blaine Park, local neighbor representatives, and Seattle Parks and Recreation. To stay informed about upcoming meetings, please join our supporters.

Our Approach
Our approach is rooted in building a strong community through conversation and compassion, and actively collaborating with city officials and Friends of Denny-Blaine Park to ensure a healthy, safe and inclusive environment for all.

• Clear Policy Language: We advocate for policies that clearly define acceptable behaviors, ensuring they are interpretable and enforceable under the law.

• Educational Signage: Our balanced approach includes signage that outlines a clear code of conduct that encourages respect for neighbors.

• Effective Enforcement Plans: We work on enforcement through community ambassadors and park rangers to ensure compliance with the park policies. We seek to partner with the Seattle Police Department and Seattle Parks and Recreation to develop robust enforcement plans intended to ensure compliance with park policies and maintain public safety.

• Clear Accountability Measures: We hold ourselves and our partners accountable to the community standards we've set so Denny Blaine Park becomes a welcoming environment for all.

  Join us in our efforts to ensure that Denny Blaine Park continues to be a space where diversity is celebrated and all visitors feel respected and valued.
