Skanska USA Building Inc. Begins Construction of a New Picnic Shelter at Magnuson Park

Magnuson Park is getting a new picnic shelter! Seattle Parks and Recreation partnered with Skanska USA Building Inc., who donated all the materials and labor to construct a new shelter that is made of durable materials to reduce maintenance and lessen opportunities for vandalism.

Construction fencing goes up on Monday, March 26, and demolition of the existing structure is scheduled for the first week in April with construction immediately following. The new picnic shelter will be complete in May, and open to the public in time for summer barbecues and fun at the beach.

For more information about the project, please visit the website at http://seattle.gov/parks/maintenance/magnuson_picnic_shelter.htm
or contact Project Manager Kelly Davidson at Seattle Parks and Recreation, 800 Maynard Ave. S, Seattle, WA 98134, 206-684-0998, or kelly.davidson@seattle.gov.
