Seattle Parks and Recreation invites input on the design of the new parcel and expansion for Greenwood Park

Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) invites the community to an Open House on Tuesday, February 13, 2018 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. to provide input on the design of the new parcel at Greenwood Park. The Open House is at the North Seattle Boys and Girls Club, 8635 Fremont Ave N. 98103. Neighbors of all ages are encouraged to attend and review design elements and provide input on park elements for the new site. Light refreshments and a Valentine’s Day craft project will be available.

SPR purchased this .1-acre site at 8805 Fremont Ave N. in 2013 to provide more open space for the growing neighborhood and expand the existing Greenwood Park. The property is surrounded by Greenwood Park. The acquisition of the property was identified in the Greenwood neighborhood plan and the 2009 Greenwood Park Master Plan.

The design of the new parcel will incorporate accessibility features in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and provide access to open space within this high density urban village.

Funding for this park project is provided by the Seattle Park District.  Approved by Seattle voters in 2014, the Seattle Park District provides more than $47 million a year in long-term funding that supports Seattle Parks and Recreation’s maintenance of parklands and facilities, operation of community centers and recreation programs, and development of new neighborhood parks on previously acquired sites.
