Kingfield Neighborhood Association

It’s A Kingfield Polling Party!

Come to vote, stay for the lemonade and community chatter!

As you know, Kingfield has a great voting tradition, and the Kingfield Neighborhood Association hosts an outdoor polling party at MLK Park to greet neighbors with beverages and treats generously donated by area businesses and neighbors throughout the day while the polls are open. All of Kingfield (and Kingfield only) votes at MLK Park, so it is a great day to bump elbows with neighbors.

Even though it’s a state primary, we expect over 1000 Kingfield neighbors to come to MLK Park on August 9th to vote, and we’d love your help in welcoming them!

Please sign up to bake or greet August 9th! See available shifts and roles here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0849a8a62ea1fe3-20221

MLK Donation Garden Weekly Workshops & Workdays

Every Tuesday 5:30-6:30 / north end of Park Building at the raised beds

Now almost a decade old, the mission of the MLK Donation Garden is to connect neighbors and grow food for our community. Neighbors and Master Gardeners gather every Tuesday to tend the vegetable gardens on the northern side of the Recreation Center and discuss a weekly topic. The food we grow is donated to The Aliveness Project (located at 3808 Nicollet), but the knowledge you go home with is yours to keep!
