Favorite thing to do in SLU during the summer?

[Rick]

One of the best things about Seattle is the summers we have, and I would say one of the major reasons to live in South Lake Union is the variety of outdoor activities that are available without even having to leave the city.

What are your favorite things to do during the summer in SLU (or in its general proximity)?

Go to Top Pot Doughnuts and then head to Pike Place Market for some people watching!
The 4th-of-July fireworks from our apartment's rooftop are amazing.

Scratch that comment on summer :(

The Sculpture park is fun to go to.

My VERY favorite thing to do in the summer is to play tennis. Having tennis courts in SLU would be such a fantastic addition.

Good call. Maybe at Lake Union Park eventually? I like playing basketball outside. A few of us are trying to get pick-up games going Tuesdays and Thursdays at the courts by Denny Park (SLU not UW):

Oh yah. My husband would be really interested in playing basketball. I will let him know. He has been thinking about trying to get some people together so this will be great news to him. Now he just has to get off of work in time!

Tennis courts at Lake Union Park would be awesome. I'll keep hoping...

I agree!!! The closest tennis courts that I know if is Rogers Playground. I love tennis! Totally bummed that Lower Woodlands (Greenlake) are renovating this summer.

so, what should we do to get our voices heard? Start a petition for tennis courts? If you have any suggestions let me know!
