Seattle Nature Alliance is opposed to transforming Cheasty Greenspace from a designated Natural Area into an active sports area. We oppose installing a Mountain Bike Skills Course into the previously undeveloped, rare, maturing forested greenspace—or any such space in a Seattle Park. Our position was first stated in a widely read open letter from Alliance co-founder Denise Dahn, and then again in a letter the we just sent to the Mayor and City Council:

• Open Letter from Denise Dahn 3/26/14
• Seattle Nature Alliance position on Cheasty Greenspace 7/18/14
