Where's Washington Park?

In starting to spread the word about this Saturday's community signing event at Washington Park in Glendale, the most common response we've gotten has almost without fail had three parts...

• Great!
• I'll be there!
• Wait, where is it?

So we thought it might be a good idea to give a few hints as to just where Washington Park is in the world.

Let's start with a couple of maps from Google...

The best way to describe its location is a block north and a block or two west of the PCSD Central Office. (Central office is directly behind Friendly Stop Cafe on the lower of those two maps.)

Here's an aerial view from Bing...

We'll be at the shelter house next to the basketball court. There's a playground for the kids, space to set up a few games of cornhole, and - most importantly - a place to spread out our petitions to get 'em signed.

If anybody needs directions, here's what we suggest you offer up.

From the north...

• Drive south on 747.
• From the intersection of Kemper (right by Tri-County Mall), go about 1 mile.
• Turn right on Washington Ave (at a stop light by Glendale Florist & Gaslight Cafe)
• Go about 1/2 mile on Washington Ave.
• Park is on the right, head into the driveway for best access.

From the south...

• Drive north on 747 (Congress Ave in Glendale)
• From the intersection of Sharon Rd & 747, turn left at the next stoplight.
• Go about 1/2 mile on Washington Ave.
• Park is on the right, head into the driveway for best access.

From the east or west, get to Tri-County Mall and head south or get to the Sharon/747 intersection and head north.

It's actually really easy to get to, and we're looking forward to Saturday.

Major congrats to Becky Heckman at PHS who already has 18 registered voter grads pledging to come and bring their friends.

What are you doing to bring folks?
