Hubbard Homestead Play Area
Updated: June 23, 2025
Summer 2025
The play equipment and safety surfacing have been installed, and the play area is still under construction. Site circulation, additional site furnishings, and trees and vegetation will be installed through Fall 2025. Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is continuing to work with the contractor to bring the project to completion.
In addition, SPR is working with a community partner to augment existing facilities through a donation. We have a signed agreement with the community partner and will have more to share with the community soon.

Project Description
This project will develop a play area within the existing Hubbard Homestead Park. The goal is to provide playground equipment which will include play elements and access for children of all ages and abilities. Improvements will include fall surfacing, seating, storm water mitigation and limited landscape improvements.
As part of this project, we decommissioned the playground at Victory Creek Park, 1059 NE Northgate Way, Seattle, WA 98125. Unfortunately, playgrounds are not designed and constructed to last forever and this playground was no exception. Under Parks and Recreation policy number 060-P 5.12.1, decommissioning is necessary because it is substantially out of code compliance. The decommissioning of this playground allowed for maintenance resources for a new play area at Hubbard Homestead Park.
