Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is excited to share early designs for the project with the community members at upcoming community events in May. We hope that you'll join us to learn about the improvements coming to your neighborhood fields.

The West Queen Anne Playfield serves as a hub for sports activities, including baseball, softball, and soccer. The improvement project focuses on enhancing the athletic fields by extending their hours and season of use. This project includes two components:

• Improvements for fields 1, 2, and the soccer field: In 2021, SPR improved the field lighting for fields 1 and 2. The next phase of the project will further upgrade these fields by converting them from grass to synthetic turf and improving the backstops and perimeter fencing.
• Improvements to Field 3: Through a partnership with Queen Anne Little League, SPR is designing broader improvements to Field 3, including a synthetic turf conversion, field lighting, and dugout improvements. Queen Anne Little League has funded the design of these improvements and is working to raise funds for construction through their Heart of the Hill Campaign.

Both projects will also include pathway and access improvements to meet current accessibility standards.

The athletic fields will be closed during construction. SPR will work with our design and athletic scheduling teams to limit the impact on field users.
