Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is excited to resume the planning, design, and construction for the Green Lake Community Center, Aquatic Center, and Play Area. SPR first began planning, designing, and public engagement for the project in 2020. After hosting online open houses in 2020, the Evans Pool was designated a historical landmark, limiting our ability to alter the building, and our overall funding for the project was reduced, causing us to revisit our designs. We are back with a fresh approach to the project that rises to these challenges while maintaining the vision from earlier feedback.
