June 2019

Seattle Parks needs to hear from you.

Community involvement has been essential in developing the new open space at 48th Ave. SW and SW Charlestown SI. The design firm, Cascade Design Collaborative, has been hard at work incorporating your input from the open house, community meeting, and on-line survey to create a preliminary preferred design for the new park. We are excited to share the design with the community at this last public meeting. Please stop by to take a look and tell us what you think.

After the meeting, Cascade Design Collaborative and Seattle Parks and Recreation will work to prepare construction documents for bidding and park construction in 2020. like you, we are looking forward to a brand new park in your neighborhood in 2020!

Thank you to the Gennee-Schmitz Neighborhood Council

JOIN US IN YOUR FUTURE PARK!

information from King County

One year after Executive Dow Constantine launched the Land Conservation Initiative to accelerate protection of 65,000 acres of the highest conservation value open space, he announced legislation to triple investments in 2019 and 2020 and to help ensure every resident in King County has access to health-promoting greenspaces.

With revenue generated by the Conservation Futures Tax and the King County Parks Levy, the county and cities seek to invest up to $63.8 million for 61 open space projects in 2019 and early 2020, pending authorization from the King County Council and voters renewing the King County Parks Levy during the Aug. 6 election. That is up from $20 million to protect 40 open space projects funded in 2018.
