Project Status

January 2010
Seattle Parks landscape architects are nearing completion on the construction documents for this project. Completed construction documents will be submitted to the Department of Executive Administration for review and approval in April.

Parks anticipates this project going to bid in May with actual construction beginning at the end of May or early June. Construction will last 60 working days, with Substantial Completion in September 2010 at which time the fields will be open to the public.

Parks held two public meetings for this project at the Delridge Community Center. The landscape architects presented a schematic design at the first meeting and went over the project summary.

After community input the design now incorporates two striped soccer fields, one softball field, one baseball field, one woman’s lacrosse field overlaying the north soccer field, one men’s lacrosse field overlaying the south soccer field, two striped Ultimate fields overlaying the south soccer field, and one smaller Ultimate field demarcated with ‘cone dots’ overlaying the north soccer field. The ADA accessibility to the north will be maintained and ADA access to the south will be added from the south parking lot.

Please see meeting notes below and the design to the right.
