Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) invites the West Seattle community to participate in a short survey for the Morgan Junction Park addition. Please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BJN9VTS to review three design options for the future park space and provide feedback. The survey will close July 22, 2019. 

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth and provided input on the designs during the Morgan Junction Community Festival. Thank you to the Morgan Junction Community Association for hosting the festival and partnering on our Open House event.

SPR purchased the property to the north of the existing park, 6311 California Ave. SW, in 2014 to provide additional open space for the West Seattle community. The design of the park will incorporate accessibility features in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and provide more open space within this high-density urban village

The Seattle Park District funds the development of this parcel into a park. The voter-approved Seattle Park District provides more than $47 million a year in long-term funding to tackle the $267-million major maintenance backlog for Seattle Parks and Recreation as well as other facilities including the Aquarium and Zoo. In addition, it will improve and rehabilitate community centers, preserve the urban forest, perform day-to-day maintenance of parks and facilities, provide more recreation opportunities for people from underserved communities, increase programs for people of all ages and abilities, and acquire and develop new park land.
