Exhibits and entertainment will be held in the NW section of Peninsula Park. Since Green Sprouts is scheduled when the weather is typically mild and dry, families can also enjoy of all the other attractions that Peninsula Park has to offer such as play grounds and a 2 acre, well-maintained rose garden. Ample FREE street parking is available, however, we encourage all to take alternative transportation or the MAX train, which has a stop just blocks away from the park..
