Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is happy to announce that the new play area at Hiawatha Playfield is nearly complete and the new play structures are open to the public. Fencing has been removed from the northeastern portion of the construction zone and the new play area is ready for public use.
The western portion of the project site and the old play area site will remain fenced while additional site work is completed, including installing new walkways, lawn establishment, removing the old play structures, and restoring the landscape for nature play.
For your safety and to allow the grass to establish, please remain out of all fenced areas and respect the landscaping fencing. SPR anticipates the remaining work to be completed in December. We hope you enjoy climbing, swinging and sliding at new Hiawatha play area!
