This park space consists of property acquired by SPR over the past 10 years. The design incorporates accessibility in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as SPR’s intent to create access to open space in areas of high urban density. The park will be a multi-generational community gathering space with adult exercise equipment, a half-court basketball feature, BBQ grills, picnic areas and colorful play equipment. Community-provided graphics of textile fabric designs that hang as banners in the park reflect a broad representation of cultures in the North Rainier neighborhood.
