PROJECT STATUS

Thank you Seattle. The Pro Parks Levy project at Lake City Mini Park is complete!

This is an award winning project!

The project was honored with a 2007 Washington Aggregates and Concrete Association Architectural Concrete Award. The new park features colored concrete paving with bands of previous concrete that interconnect throughout the property.

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

The Pro Parks Levy states, "Make improvements to park including addressing the concrete wall and other park features." Parks met with the North Neighborhoods Stewardship Group, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce and Rotary to solicit ideas about improving the park. Ideas included: reducing or removing the wall along NE 123rd St, replacing the landscaping with plants that allow more visibility into the site; adding ground level landscaping and trees for shade; and retaining the entry arch.
