Enjoy special musical guest Kyle Riabko, a free barbeque lunch, fun activities for kids & families, and a speech from King County Council Chairman Larry Phillips
Day in the Park concludes with a celebration to thank volunteers for all their hard work and dedication to the environment. Our celebration includes:
Featuring special musical guest
Kyle Riabko
- Special musical guest Kyle
Riabko will perform. Kyle is a classic soul singer in the
tradition of Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone and Prince. He plays guitar with
the feel and forcefulness of such blues greats as B.B. King and Buddy
Guy; a skill honed during the course of five years of extensive stage
work. He crafts material that is at once refined and funky, witty and
heartfelt. But there are two more details that render his accomplishments
all the more remarkable: Riabko isn't from some musical Mecca like Memphis
or New Orleans; his home is Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and this old soul
has been on the planet for all of 16 years. He has opened for Buddy
Guy, Keb' Mo', Robert Randolph and labelmate John Mayer.
- A special thank you to hard-working volunteers from King County
Council Chairman Larry Phillips.
- Free Breakfast, BBQ lunch, snacks, and beverages.
- Prizes and giveaways for everyone, including a drawing for a $500
gift certificate from IKEA!
- Information booths from Earth
Share of Washington organizations, local community groups, outdoor
recreation companies, and green building/household companies. Learn
more about environmental issues in your neighborhood, and around Washington.
- And much more...
Come for the volunteer work, stay for the party!
What better place to relax and unwind from an honest days work but Golden Gardens Park. Located in Ballard on Puget Sound, this popular park offers extraordinary views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. A recent project restored two wetlands, established a short loop trail, and restored the northern beach. Golden Gardens offers strolls along a rugged coastline, hikes through forest trails, sunbathing on sandy beaches, fishing from a pier, a dog off-leash area, and a boat launch.
Enjoy a campfire on the beach at Golden Gardens Park!
Goldens Gardens is accesible by bus, car or bicycle. Get directions here.
