For those who wondered about the benefits in the renovation of Genessee Park, the answer is as clear as the off-leash area at 7 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST): Not much.
The City of Seattle's Parks Department plan took care to install the lights over the new play field in such a manner that we would derive much -- if any -- use from the night-time illumination. While the western portion of the park has some lighting, the remainder of the off-leash area remains relatively dark.
The installation of the new athletic area -- large enough to boast a football field with goal posts -- means more users and less-available parking on South Genesee Street. Lest you have enough concerns or complaints, wait until next year in the late summer/early fall when soccer and football seasons are in full gear.
Bring your high-powered flashlight if you come to the off-leash area after 5 pm PST.
Beware: Larger issues loom.
