Project Status

Winter 2010
Parks held at meeting on December 1, 2009 at Jefferson Community Center. This was the first meeting of three meetings that will provide information and gather public input on the design for the following aspects in the park:

• Beacon Mountain
• Park service road and promenade
• Jefferson Playfield Improvements
• Jefferson skatepark and basketball court

Parks received good bids for Phase One work which will allow for additional items to be integrated into Phase One work under the Pro Parks project. The priority worksheets helped Parks determine the possible additions for Phase One. For additional scope items that will be pursued please visit www.seattle.gov/parks/ProParks/projects/JeffersonPark.htm

Phase Two: As a separate project (time line, 2009-2011) Parks will be looking at ways to improve Jefferson Play Field which will include synthetic turf and lighting.

Phase Three: Another separate project (time line, 2010-2011) will include the skateboard park (which has dedicated funding), basketball court, and possibly additional parking at the community center.


Spring 2009
A community meeting was held on April 21, 2009 at the Beacon Hill Library. The main goal of the meeting was to listen and gather information regarding the community's priorities for the next stage of development which will be funded through the Parks and Green Spaces Levy. It was also an opportunity to provide an update on what will be constructed in phase one starting this summer, 2009, and ending in fall, 2010.

Over 120 people attended the meeting representing various interest groups within the community. Specifically, there were many people in attendance supporting improved sports fields and additional play areas. Please review the minutes posted below for details of the meeting.

Project Description
