P-Patch Community Gardens

Magnuson Park

Community Spirit

The Magnuson P-Patch is located within the Magnuson Community Garden, a four-acre site at Sand Point Magnuson Park. Neighborhood volunteers have built the new community garden. It is a destination spot for the whole city, come stroll the amphitheater, children's garden, tranquil garden, native plant demonstration area, native plant nursery, and orchard. Visitors meander the pathways, stopping to talk to gardeners, take pictures, and watch the ducks that have taken up residence in the storm-water swale. With the community center located in the old brig it is a great location to have big event at.
