Seattle Parks and Recreation invites the community to help shape the future design for the next phase of renovations at Be’er Sheva Park. Please join us at the Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands, 5513 S. Cloverdale St. on Saturday, Feb. 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This event is an opportunity for the community to meet the project team, review the four play area design options shaped by community feedback , and explore the Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands.
We encourage the community to participate in a short survey to let us know which play area option will be best for your community. Please visit https://seattle.surveymonkey.com/r/BSP2-PS.
Phase II Renovations will focus on renovating the play area and installing a new accessible path with a fitness zone. The design will incorporate new site furnishings, including picnic tables/benches, barbeques, bike racks, and other park elements to welcome community gatherings. This project may include other related improvements to enhance safety, accessibility, and natural areas as budget allows.
“We are excited to bring this next phase of improvements to Be’er Sheva Park and the southeast community,” said AP Diaz, Seattle Parks and Recreation Superintendent. “Also, we are working with our partners and finance team to identify funding to repair the Cultural Stage. We understand the importance of this asset for the community and the role it serves in creating community and a healthy park.”
Be’er Sheva Park is located in southeast Seattle on the shores of Lake Washington at 8650 55th Ave S. For more information on the event and project please visit https://www.seattle.gov/parks/about-us/projects/beer-sheva-park-improvements or contact Shaquan Smith at Shaquan.Smith@seattle.gov.
