The Morgan Junction Park is now open.
At the Morgan Community Association meeting on April 15 public information officer Cindi Barker announced that both the Morgan Junction Festival, and the dedication for the community's new park, will take place on June 13.
Beginning at 10 a.m. the new park will be dedicated. While the Morgan Community Association was able to collect more than 130 signatures on a petition to name the park after former West Seattle Herald reporter Tim St. Clair, the Seattle Park's Department has not yet announced a name for the Morgan Junction Park. St. Clair died just more than a year ago from cancer.
Meanwhile, a fence around the Morgan Junction Park has been removed and the park is open for community use.
After the park dedication Barker said a "bubble man" will begin entertaining attendees along with live music and at least 18 neighborhood booths. Local restaurants and bars, including Zeeks, the Feedback Lounge and the Beveridge Place are also expected to participate.
Barker added that after last years festival some "seed money" carried over to fund this year's festival and she expects they will be able to do the same this year.
