Spruce Street Mini Park Play Area Renovation

Early 2021

Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is renovating Spruce St Mini Park Play Area, a neighborhood park in the central area, and needs community feedback on three design concepts. You can view the designs here and if you have feedback please contact the project manager.

Thank you to the 147 people who have already given feedback through the online survey. See survey results below. Also, thank you to everyone who attended the social distant event we held in October.

The goal of this project is to renovate the existing play area space, including reconfiguration of the layout, new play equipment, ADA improvements, benches, seating options, and possible electrical upgrades. 

Additionally, we are partnering with the Office of Arts & Culture and will collaborate with the community on public art to be included in this play area renovation project. The Office of Arts & Culture has hired the artist team of Hasaan Kirkland (www.hasaankirkland.com) and Damon Brown (www.creativelou.com) to work with the community to decide what type of artwork (e.g., murals, small sculptures) would best reflect the neighborhood. 

Join artists Hasaan Kirkland and Damon Brown for this virtual presentation as they discuss possibilities for the inclusion of a public art project in the renovation of the Spruce St Mini Park Play Area.
