Thank you for your input on the Judkins Park Renovations! We have created the final design layout and are working on design details. In-person meeting details are coming soon!

The project will renovate the playground, both the upper and lower restrooms, and improve accessibility. While the project is small in scope, the team has a focused commitment to preserving the park’s historical significance while advancing equity and accessibility. We will seek to expand the scope to include community priorities as budget allows.

 During construction, the contractor will need to close a portion of the park. Seattle Parks and Recreation and the contractor hired for the project will work to minimize the impact on the neighborhood. Thank you for your understanding.

Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is partnering with the following organizations to ensure the project is community focused.

• Africatown Community Land Trust (ACLT) is co-leading and facilitating community outreach and engagement for the project, prioritizing involvement from the Black community and historically underrepresented groups.
  • ACLT’s William Grose Center for Cultural Innovation, center local youth in the design process while fostering innovation.
• A Personal Point of View, LLC, led by Margo Jones a community leader and Judkins Park resident, is co-leading outreach to connect with the community, build trust, and conduct a codesign process representative of the community.

Together, SPR and its partners are working to remove barriers to engagement and ensure Judkins Park becomes a place of belonging, equity, and enriched access for all.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the community engagement process! Please watch this page for project updates.
