Seattle Parks and Recreation is extending an open invitation for community members to engage in shaping the future of Meridian Playground's play area. Set your calendars for Thursday, July 31, from 3 to 7 p.m., because that's when you'll have the chance to join the conversation at the Wallingford Farmer’s Market, located at 4800 Meridian Ave N. A visit will provide the dual benefits of reviewing potential play area designs and also the chance to peruse the farmer's market offerings.
According to a post on Parkways Seattle, this initiative is not just about swapping out tired swings and slides; it’s a concerted effort to enhance the whole shebang including accessibility improvements, with the installation of synthetic safety surfacing to sweeten the deal. Kids and parents, both prospective users of the space, are particularly encouraged to drop by and weigh in, shaping a space they'll actually use.
Meridian Playground, nestled in Wallingford at 4549 Sunnyside Ave. N, is poised for a significant makeover. Bidding farewell to old playground equipment, the city is ready to inject new life into this community hub. The design team is poised, drawing boards ready, awaiting feedback. In an action of inclusion, a short survey will be circulated post-meeting to gather additional input on preferred design elements and play area features.
For those deep in the trenches of parenting, looking for a safe and engaging place for their little ones to burn energy, the project is a significant development. For further details, before your tykes propel you out the door to the forum, make a virtual stopover to Seattle’s park website, or get in touch with park planner Kevin Bergsrud via email at [email protected] or dial 206-684-5831 for a chat.
