Trees At Lowell Park

The PUD has cut down at least 4 trees along South 3rd Ave at Lowell Neighborhood Park. The crew foreperson claimed they were too close to the power lines. We have been told that they will replant trees in this area. For now, it's a very sad corner to look at.

The Office of Neighborhoods is working with the Lowell Civic Association to find out why public input and citizen comment was not considered before the trees were removed.

August Weeding

We had a fun time weeding on Thursday before the rains came! Thirteen volunteers from the neighborhood and Everett Gospel Mission pulled weeds and made our park beautiful. The next generation of helpers joined in the fun, in between swinging and playing at the park.

Thank you to Starbucks on Broadway for donating a container of coffee and blueberry muffins.

August Weeding Party

This Thursday, August 26th from 9am-12 am at Lowell Neighborhood Park

Weeding party for August has been organized by our neighbor, Laura. Come and join us and pull the last few weeds of the summer!

Bring gloves, we'll have some tools and light snacks.

June Success Story

It's been a wet Spring, but we managed to find a halfway dry day to gather at the park and get started on the weeds! Last week, we had 20 volunteers from the Everett Gospel Mission as well as other neighbors to pull weed, spread mulch and have a little fun. The park landscaping looks great. Our city worker who is in charge of landscaping is also going to try burning out the weeds in the gravel area instead of spraying pesticides.

All your hard work is appreciated, I look forward to a warmer July and more work parties. Remember to enjoy the park, stop by and take a walk, grill out, or have your kids play on the play structure. Lowell Park is truly a treasure!

May Weeding Party!
