Seward Park Playground
Location: 5898 Lake Washington Blvd SFollowing the removal of the deteriorating pirate boat at Seward Park's play area, a community group formed to create a spectacular and innovative play space in this diverse and underserved neighborhood. The Seward Park Playground Improvement Foundation (SPPIF) partnered with Seattle Parks and Recreation, Audubon Society, Friends of Seattle's Olmsted Parks, and Friends of Seward Park to hire and steward the design of a new playground.
The design by Johnson Southerland is now complete and approved after extensive public input. With Seattle Parks Foundation as the fiscal sponsor, SPPIF is now raising the final funds for this project. We are excited to be a part of such a unique and worthy project. Designed to blend into the adjacent old growth forest, mountain views, trails, and Audubon Center, the new play area will be a citywide attraction!
