In 2006 a group of Eastlake residents and friends transformed a vacant piece of street along the shores of Lake Union into a beautiful park. The focus point of the park is a Petanque Court, called the 'Eastlake Boulledrome'. The court was built from granite curbs recycled from Pioneer Square, pitching mound material from Safeco field and a score board. The court is now the 'homefield' for the Independant Petanque Club of Eastlake. The entire project cost $15.000, which were awarded by a 'Neighborhood Matching Fund' by Seattle's department of neighborhoods and hundreds of hours of volunteer work donated by neighbors and friends of Eastlake.

Eastlake's residential parking zone is the City's most favorable to retailers in that most parking places are available for a two or even four hour period without any permit at all.
Eastlake's approach to neighborhood planning was one of the City's models, and the neighborhood was encouraged to move ahead on the existing planning recommendations while working to revalidate and supplement them.
Eastlake's City contract (the first phase contract, for $10,000, was signed May 13, 1996; the second phase contract, for $70,000, was signed March 19, 1997) recognized the accomplishments of recent planning.
