(May 2023) Design work for this project was placed on hold between July 2022 and April 2023, but has recommenced. Our design consultant, Bruce Dee & Associates, is working to complete the design and bid documents during May, with an anticipated bid opening by the end of June. A construction schedule has not been finalized, but is expected to take place during late summer and fall 2023.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Nothing at this point in time, as design work for this project is being finalized. Watch this space for construction announcements in summer 2023!
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The goal of this project is to refresh the existing amenities at Silver Crest Park and improve recreational conditions for existing park features. This includes a goal to increase Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access to the play area.
This proposed project would include: repairing/restoring the basketball court and fencing, repairing the existing pathways as needed, repairing and/or replacing existing benches and picnic tables, installing concrete pads for the table/bench areas, and repairing and/or replacing the play area concrete ring, and restoring play area surfacing as needed.
The Silver Crest Park was annexed to the City in 2005 as a part of the Northeast Area Annexation. This .61 acre neighborhood park is located within the Silver Crest subdivision on 28th Drive SE. Amenities include a full basketball court, playground, picnic tables, and a grassy play area. There is currently no irrigation in place at this park.
This project is funded through a combination of City funds, a Snohomish County Parks grant, and a State of Washington Capital Appropriation legislative grant.
