Community Invited to Engage in Upcoming Park Design Events This Summer
Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR), in collaboration with Africatown Community Land Trust, the William Grose Center for Cultural Innovation, and A Personal Point of View, LLC, invites the community to participate in a series of engagement events this summer to help shape the future of Judkins Park.
These events will provide an opportunity for residents and park users to review and respond to concept design options for the renovated playground and spray park. Community input is essential to ensure the final design reflects local values, supports cultural identity, and meets the needs of all families in the neighborhood.
Engagement Events Schedule:
- Umoja Fest: August 2, 3 | 12 – 7 p.m.
Judkins Park, 2150 South Norman St, Seattle, WA 98144
- Judkins Park Playground Pop-Up: August 16 | 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Judkins Park Playground, 2150 South Norman St, Seattle, WA 98144
Join us at one of these events to learn more about the project, connect with the design team, and share your ideas for a vibrant, inclusive Judkins Park. Additionally, you can provide input through our online survey. Please visit https://seattle.surveymonkey.com/r/JudkinsDesignConcepts.
