Pratt Park Spraypark Renovation
Updated: February 6, 2020
Winter 2019/20
New elements have been added to the project, including a new restroom building, mechanical equipment building, and adult fitness equipment. The new buildings will be located northwest of the renovated spraypark and existing play area. The custom-designed restroom building features a butterfly roof and vegetated wall trellis systems, and a gender-neutral prototype being built in other Seattle parks. A rendering of the new restroom building may be viewed here. This location will accommodate better pedestrian flow in the park and improve site lines into the park. New surfacing and a recirculating water system for the spraypark will increase safety, water efficiency, and play value. Also, Seattle Parks and Recreation is partnering with a community partner to install adult fitness zone equipment at Pratt Park.
Seattle Parks and Recreation and its design team, Site Workshop, thank you for your input during the design process for the spraypark renovation project. This feedback assisted us in preparing the overall design of the new feature and its elements.
