About the Seward Park:

We have reserved a nice shelter with two BBQ grills. On the large grassy area we will be playing bocce and other lawn games. The shelter will give us a place to gather under the sun to get some shade.

We are on the upper level of the Park. When you come in, make a left and go up the road.

Seward park is accessible from several locations, I-5 and I-90.
