Help Name This New Park
Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) invited the public to submit potential names for this park. The submissions have been received and a recommendation will be made soon. Thank you for your participation.
The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS), in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR), selected Kalina Chung as the artist for the project. She is very excited to join the team and has been working with the community on her conceptual design. To learn more visit http://www.kalinachung.com/.
The design team has completed the Design Development phase and is working on permitting and construction documents.
A customer survey was completed in the winter of 2019 to receive additional input and an understanding on how the neighborhood accesses Lam's Seafood because some of their parking will be impacted. A new park is being built where the parking lot is located across the street on King Street. Lam's customers and the neighborhood will be able to enjoy the new park but will no longer have parking in that area. We would like to hear from our customers how the parking changes may impact them and what we can do to help. SPR is partnering with SDOT and OED on a neighborhood wide assessment of available on and off-street parking and the correlation between parking availability and the economic impact to businesses. Eco Northwest has been contracted to complete the study.
