"The Seattle Parks Department would like to build 11 new, lighted, ball fields at Sand Point Magnuson Park. Magnuson Park is directly across from the Kirkland waterfront. The fields would be so well lit that people living on the opposite of Lake Washington worry they would be drowned out by the bright lights."

"Organized youth sports teams are practically drooling over the idea of ballfields going in at Smith Cove, where the city spent $6 million to buy the surplused Navy land, along with a smaller parcel of Navy property that will be used as a passive park on top of the hill above."

[Note: Smith Cove is located in the Magnolia neighborhood and is on Elliott Bay, approximately half way between Discovery Park and down town Seattle.]
