Judkins Park Renovations Project
Updated: January 21, 2026
Project Description
The project will renovate the playground, both the upper and lower restrooms, and improve accessibility. While the project is limited in scope, the team has a focused commitment to preserving the park’s historical significance while advancing equity and accessibility. WE will seek to expand the scope to include community priorities as budget allows.
During construction, the contractor will need to close a portion of the park. Seattle Parks and Recreation and the contractor hired for the project will work to minimize the impact on the neighborhood. Thank you for your understanding.
