  • Urban village parks acquisition, totaling $24 million, will be used to increase open space in 17 urban villages and single family areas that do not meet City standards for parks. 
  • New major neighborhood parks will be created on lids mandated for our city reservoirs and will provide over 66 acres of new green space in Seattle.
    • Projects include reservoirs at Maple Leaf, West Seattle, and Beacon Hill.
  • Existing major neighborhood parks will receive significant improvements.
    • Projects include the Washington Park Arboretum, Discovery Park, the Children’s Play Garden, and Magnuson Park.
  • Cultural park-owned facilities will receive critical infrastructure improvements and continue to bring vibrancy to our public parks and green spaces.
    • Projects include the Langston Hughes Cultural Arts Center and the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
  • Neighborhood park development will add active community space throughout the city.
    • Projects include Northgate Urban Park, Hing Hay Park, Whittier Heights, Crown Hill, Camp Long, Cedar Park, Rainier Beach, Marra-Desimone Park, 7th Elect Church Site in Ballard, and Othello Park.
  • Community garden development will create greater connection to our food and more space to support the growing demand for P-Patches.
