Seattle Parks and Recreation is holding a public meeting and will present the preliminary design and gather community input on repairs to the seawall at Lowman Beach Park on Beach Drive SW.

The Lowman Beach Park seawall is failing and needs to be removed. As visitors to the park have seen, the existing seawall is slowly falling over/sliding towards the water. It is Seattle Parks and Recreation's goal to remove the remaining seawall and continue the shoreline restoration work that began when the south half of the seawall failed in the mid-1990s.

In May 2017, together with design consultant Environmental Science Associates (ESA), Seattle Parks presented design options. ESA was hired as a design consultant in 2018 to continue the design process that began with a feasibility study. The design will take into consideration both the habitat benefits of the seawall removal and the coastal engineering ramifications of that seawall removal. Given the design constraints of the project, the existing tennis court will be removed. A remnant of Pelly Creek that currently flows under the seawall will be daylighted as part of the project.
