Project Status

Thank you Seattle. This project is substantially complete.

A main pathway through the park and the skateboard mini-ramp are open. Fencing will remain up through the spring to allow the turf to establish. Seattle Parks appreciates your consideration during this time.

The park features a renovated ballfield, open lawn area, a skateboard mini-ramp, artistic play features, good pathway circulation and landscaping.

Parks awarded the construction contract to Paul Brothers of Oregon who started construction in August 2011.

The proposed sidewalk in the right-of-way along 13th Ave. NW was not included. The code was requiring full street improvements and just a sidewalk was not allowed. Due to the cost and very low need for full street improvements, the proposed sidewalk was removed, and landscaping improvements were added.

Parks hosted two community meetings in 2010 after dusting off the plans developed in 2006. At the first meeting in April, people left the meeting understanding the earlier process, they gave their input on the current design and heard about Crown Hill Center's exciting plans.

The next meeting in August 2010 gave the community a chance to participate in the skate dot design that has been integrated into the park. Pillar Skatepark Designs made a presentation to the community. Please see notes, presentation and final schematic design views of the skatepark below.

Seattle Parks and Recreation officially named the park Crown Hill Park in July 2010.

Project Description

This project renovates existing ballfields and adjacent newly acquisitioned land. Pedestrian circulation, celebrated entries, open space, areas for play, skate dots, a newly renovated field, seating, and plantings are among the many elements being considered.

Community Participation

In November 2005, Seattle Parks staff attended the Small Faces Center community open house to introduce the project. Parks followed that with two public meetings in Spring 2006 to discuss improvements with the community.
