Bryant Neighborhood Playground Renovation
Updated: October 27, 2025
Winter 2025
Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) has issued the Notice to Proceed (NTP) to Kessel & Associates for construction on a three-play-area renovation package, beginning Monday, July 28, 2025. This package includes play area improvements at Ward Springs Play Area, Bryant Neighborhood Park Play Area, and View Ridge Playfield Play Area, with phased construction planned to minimize community disruption.
Construction is underway at View Ridge and Ward Springs; these two sites will run concurrently and are expected to be completed by the end of 2025. To take advantage of favorable weather, the contractor is partially mobilized at Bryant. The Bryant play area remains open while the View Ridge play area is closed.

We received many comments about adding restrooms. We’ve forwarded the comments for SPR asset planning’s consideration; however, at this time, the project is not able to address restroom needs.
