Get ready, Lake City residents! The Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is rolling out the welcome mat for locals to get a sneak peek at the fresh designs pegged to transform Little Brook Park. The department is setting the stage for a public meeting come March 8, at the Lake City Collective Center, and it's your ticket to have a say in what goes down at your local relaxation spot. Mark your calendars for 5-7 p.m. to catch a glimpse of what's cooking for the neighborhood haven.
The shindig promises to spill the beans on the proposed park space layout, entice feedback on a carousel of play equipment options, and dish out conceptual designs for an all-new plaza. This isn't just a pie-in-the-sky dream, folks. The plaza plans to claim a slice of 32nd Avenue NE, right in front of the, you guessed it, park. Thanks to the Seattle Department of Transportation greensignaling it as a Healthy Street, this spot's off-limits for cars, meaning more room for kids and adults alike to pedal, stroll, skate, and let loose.
Gone will be the days of "meh" play areas and so-so spots to plop down for a snack. This redo's packing a punch with a spruced-up play zone, prime picnic tables, cozy seating, a nifty creek boardwalk, not to forget a spiffed-up garden, and a restroom revamp to boot. It’s a full package for those sunny day escapades or tranquil time outs amidst nature.
"We are excited to complete the design for the park renovation and would like to thank community members and non-profit organization, Lake City Collective, for their initial design work," beamed AP Diaz, the honcho at Seattle Parks and Recreation. Blending hands with SDOT and the local crowd, the park's on a one-way street to becoming a hotspot for an active and close-knit community, according to Parkways Seattle. So don’t miss out on throwing your two cents into the pot and maybe getting that swing set dialed up to an eleven.
