In 2014, Seattle Parks and Recreation purchased the .47-acre property at 6311 California Ave SW, north of Morgan Junction Park, to expand the park and provide additional open space for this high-density neighborhood. The design will incorporate accessibility in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and additional park elements will be incorporated after gathering public input. A transfer of jurisdiction ordinance may be required to expand and connect the new site to the existing park.

This project was put on hold during the pandemic when the City of Seattle turned its focus to essential functions to address the immediate social and economic crisis. In Sept. 2022, the Seattle City Council, acting in its role as Seattle Park District Board, passed a new six-year funding plan for the 2023-2028 Park District cycle, which included funding for this project.

The additional parcel and the current Eddy Street ROW will not be accessible during construction.
