Summary
A public forum was held by Seattle Parks and Rec to discuss the plan to build a kids' play area at Denny Blaine Park, which is known for its nude beach and as a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community. The proposal has sparked controversy with many fearing it could lead to demonization of the LGBTQ+ community and potentially push them out of the area.
