The project is nearing completion, and we look forward to celebrating with a ribbon-cutting event this Spring. We appreciate the community’s cooperation and patience as we work to complete this improvement and deliver a four-season synthetic turf field, accessible pathways and park amenities for the community.

This project includes the installation of synthetic field surfacing, lighting, ADA access and site improvements for the lower playfield. Seattle Parks and Recreation is investing in state-of-the-art synthetic turf systems that are safe, playable and durable. Additionally, we are investing in the highest quality energy-efficient field lighting, which minimizes spill light and glare off the field while providing performance recreational light. The project will improve accessibility to the field in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

In the summer of 2020, the City of Seattle turned its focus to essential functions to address the pandemic and economic crisis, which required a significant reprioritization of resources. Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) suspended some capital project work, including this project. In 2023, we started moving this project forward; however, because of budget constraints at SPR, the project was again put on hold. The Seattle Park District Cycle 2 provided funding and helped move this project forward.

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