Soundview Playfield Athletic Field Renovation

Early 2023

Soundview Playfield Renovation – RESTARTED – 2020 Hold Removed At Permit Renewal & 100% Bid Intake

In the summer of 2020, the City of Seattle turned its focus to essential functions to address the pandemic and economic crisis, which required a significant reprioritization of resources.  Seattle Parks and Recreation suspended some capital project work including this project. In September 2022, the Seattle City Council, acting in their role as Seattle Park District Board, passed a new six-year funding plan for the 2023-2028 Park District cycle which includes funding for this project and many more.

This project is a conversion of an existing natural turf playfield to an all-season multi-sport synthetic turf playfield with lights and associated accessible pathways and park amenities.

Over the next year we will be updating the prior 100% bid documents, re-estimate of engineers construction cost estimate, renewal of construction/drainage permit, and messaging community and playfield stakeholders.
