In parallel with the stabilization project listed below, Seattle Parks and Recreation is beginning the design process for the new center and pool. The first step was to work with the Green Lake Advisory Council and the community to determine the best site for the new facility. In May 2020 SPR hosted an informative online Open House and online live meeting to explain the project and gather community input on the best location for the new center and pool. 6,662 individuals visited the online open house; 4,167 individuals completed a survey, including 3,268 responses to the site selection and priorities survey.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of survey participants selected the current location as their preferred option for the new community center. Of the six options, participants disliked Lower Woodland Tennis Courts the most. When evaluating reasons to select a site, survey respondents identified the following as their top priorities:

• Access to parking and drop-off (61%)
• Pedestrian access/walkability (59%)
• Access to transit (46%)
