New Synthetic Turf Field.
In 2001, the Washington Elementary School Turf Improvement Project was identified by the community as the number five priority
of the Washington Neighborhood Improvement Plan. The joint project, between the San Jose Unified School District and the City of San Jose, is a revitalization effort to improve the school's existing playgrounds as well as create more recreational
opportunities in the Washington neighborhood area. The Grand
Opening was held on Wednesday, March 17, 2007
The new 54,028 square feet of synthetic turf will replace an old playing field and irrigation systems saving approximately 1 million gallons of water per year. The project utilizes recycles material made from 19,162 car tires. A below-ground drainage system is designed to prevent water collection on the turf surface and allow for year-round use. The play area is space for physical education and recreational programs. In addition, the school
field will serve as a public recreational facility during non-school hours.

Haunted House Tradition Continues
San José Downtown Neighborhood Celebrates 15 Years of Frights & Festivities
The Guadalupe/Washington Neighborhood Association celebrated its 15th Annual Haunted House & Festival on
Saturday, October 27, 2007 at the Washington United Youth Center. The event featured a maze-like Haunted House with over 15 different scare booths. Outside, parents & children were invited to participate in carnival games, arts & crafts, music, pumpkin walk and a photo booth with monsters.
Conceived in 1993 after a fatal drive-shooting in front of
Washington Elementary School, concerned parents, a
business owner & school principal organized the 1st
Annual Haunted House at the Elementary School with the
help of generous funding from Los Amigos de Washington (Friends of Washington) a small group of Rotarians who participated in school events. This event has grown from a budget of $1,000 to over $3,000 and with close to 1,000 families in attendance.
