Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) invites the community to attend an Open House for A.B. Ernst Park expansion on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at A.B. Ernst Park, 723, N. 35th St., directly west of the Fremont Branch library. This is an opportunity to meet the design team and learn more about the A.B. Park expansion project design, the project schedule and future construction.
In 2024, the project was restarted when funding was re-allocated, after the pandemic, to the park development with the passing of the second Seattle Park District Cycle (2023 – 2028). We are currently re-permitting and finalizing the construction documents.
As part of the re-permitting efforts, the park’s design was updated to meet the new tree and stormwater requirements and budget constraints. Please view the new A. B. Ernst Site Plan Design here https://www.seattle.gov/a/172457. SPR anticipates construction to begin on your park expansion in early 2026.
