It's a place of community

Welcome to the Heart of the Hill
The Story Thus Far
For more than ten years, the city of Seattle has been promising improvements to West Queen Anne Playfield (aka Big Howe) and now the time has come. Starting next year, Seattle Parks and Recreation will begin the planning phase to resurface the lower field of Big Howe with synthetic turf. The hope is to have this project completed sometime in 2026.
What We're Doing Here
We want to take advantage of the fact the city will be resurfacing the lower field and piggy back on their resources to resurface the upper field (QA3) but we need your help and that's why we're running this capital fundraising campaign. For too long, the fields in Queen Anne had been neglected by the city and now we have an opportunity to create first-class playfields for our community.
Our Goal
Our ultimate goal is to raise $4 to $5 million dollars. Our hope is not just to improve the playing surface but to improve the entire area around QA3 including building concrete seating on the west slope (along the 3rd baseline), installing an electronic scoreboard, and a storage shed behind home plate so that we don't have maintenance equipment strewn along the edge of the fields.
How You Can Help
Throughout the fundraising campaign, we will be offering several opportunities to participate and contribute including merchandise sales. We are also working on various avenues of giving including: annual pledges, corporate matching funds, donation of stocks, etc.
