Magnuson Park, you'll find more than four miles of walking trails along the shores of Lake Washington, grassy fields, evergreen and deciduous trees and brush, and captivating public art installations. Located along a splendid mile-long stretch of Lake Washington's shoreline in northeast Seattle, it is Seattle's second largest park, encompassing 350 acres.
Magnuson Park boasts many landmarks and historical sites that prominently display Art Deco style architecture. The park's Historic District features more than 20 brick and metal structures built in the 1930s and 1940s, recalling the park's history as a Naval airfield.

Mickey Merriam Field #5 Synthetic Turf Replacement
The synthetic turf at the Mickey Merriam Field 5 has aged over time and Seattle Parks and Recreation is investing in a state-of-the-art synthetic turf system that is safe, playable, durable, and retains less heat in the summer. The solution is to provide a sustainable cork and sand infill over a cushioned pad system.
The project is to remove existing and install new synthetic turf surfacing, including supplemental resilient pad, turf product, infill materials, and field markings. In addition, new concrete pads will be installed under bleachers, and the existing unpaved walk path between the parking lot and the field will receive asphalt paving as well. Installation of tree protection and construction fencing with site restoration after construction.
Budget
The 2023 budget for final design and construction of the project is $2,000,827.
Schedule
Bidding: June 2023
Construction: Mid-July - September 2023
Anticipated Impact
During construction, the playfield will need to be closed. Seattle Parks and Recreation and the contractor hired will work to minimize impacts to park visitors and the community.
