We are committed to being part of a healthy community.

As a facility of The Seattle Parks and Recreation Department, we are committed to making our neighborhoods and city a better place to live. Aside from public events, we offered the following in 2017.

In-kind Rentals

The  clubhouse is available for free or reduced rental rates to qualifying non-profit organizations. Past recipients have used our clubhouse for community organizing, volunteer coordinating, annual retreats and meetings, and teacher appreciation days. 

Beacon Food Forest

We continued our partnership with the Beacon Food Forest by providing them meeting space throughout the year, including their annual retreat. In 2010, co-founders Glenn Herlihy and Jacqueline Cramer held the first Beacon Food Forest public meeting at the Jefferson Park Lawn Bowling Club to explain the possibilities of starting a food forest, with people coming from a variety of city agencies, community groups and local residents.

asa mercer middle school

JPLBC honored the Mercer Middle School teachers for their contribution to the youth development with a free rental of the clubhouse and greens. Seattle Public Schools also were given free use of the clubhouse for a working meeting.
