If you're visiting, check out these spots:

• Memory Place -- A new city-sponsored art installation uses old pictures and oral histories to trace Broadview's history. Learn about the Playland amusement park, dance halls, cherry orchards and more. It's on North 125th Street, a block east of Aurora Avenue North.

• Bitter Lake Community Center -- A new city parks facility, at Linden Avenue and North 130th Street, opened last year and offers basketball courts, a family center and other facilities. A big scrapbook in the foyer has historical photos and information about the Broadview area. The family center will have an open house 6:30 to 8 p.m. March 20.

• E.B. Dunn Historic Garden -- Broadview's secret garden is 10 acres and was bought by Seattle businessman Arthur Dunn as a country place in 1915. Dunn hired the famed Olmstead Brothers to lay out the plantings and pathways. His son, E.B. Dunn, grew prized rhododendrons on a portion of the site, and with his will in 1993 created a non-profit trust to own and maintain the gardens. The trust doesn't like to disclose the location, because several members of the Dunn family still live on the property and casual visitors are not welcomed. The trust offers tours from April 1 to Sept. 30. Admission is $7, with discounts for seniors and students. No children under 12 or pets allowed. For reservations and information: 206-362-0933.

• Carkeek Park -- One of the city's larger parks offers the broad Puget Sound view that gave Broadview its name. It has lots of hiking trails, beach access, an environmental education center and Piper's Creek, a revitalized salmon spawning stream. Follow the signs from Third Avenue Northwest and Northwest 110th Street.
