| PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
Citizens active in the development of the Bradner Gardens Park began design work for the renovation of an existing Parks storage and toilet building several years ago with the assistance of the UW Architecture School's Design/Build Studio. Subsequently, the community group developed funding from various agencies and foundations to support construction of this project. The remainder of the required funding was secured by the passage of the 2000 Pro Parks Levy. The renovated building includes the following elements:
- Reuse of most of the existing concrete-block storage and toilet building.
- A new community meeting room, with natural-gas fireplace, and display for the gardening library maintained by the Master Gardener.
- A new toilet room and utility room within the renovated existing building.
- A new roof system incorporating electricity-generating photo-voltaic panels that generate a net surplus of power.
- Use of sustainable materials, most with low embodied-energy from renewable sources.

| COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION |
Parks has prepared a public involvement plan that outlines procedures for soliciting and considering public input. The Plan identifies people affected, timeline, the method for soliciting and incorporating community input, and communication techniques. There are many opportunities to be involved.
- Community-wide Public Meetings and Workshops - Parks held an open meeting on 30 May 2002 during which the final design was shared with the general community.
- Neighborhood Meetings - Parks has gone to neighborhood council, neighborhood plan stewardship meetings as needed to provide updates and gather comments during the design of the project.
