The Family Terrace slated to replace the current Maple Leaf Playground as part of the Maple Leaf Reservoir Park project, is on track to receive $100,000 from Seattle’s Neighborhood Matching Fund.
The proposed Family Terrace will be located in the bottom left corner of the above map of Maple Leaf Reservoir Park.
Scott Bishop, a neighbor who is pursuing the funding with backing from the Maple Leaf Community Council, last night told the council’s executive board that the Department of Neighborhoods had approved the project, and that an award ceremony is planned for Monday, June 27. The Mayor’s Office and the Seattle City Council still must approve the project, which Bishop said are “primarily formalities,” with the council’s stamp of approval expected Aug. 2.
Interested in learning more about the Family Terrace? With guidance from the approximately 50 people of all ages who attended a design meeting earlier this month, the city will present a proposed design from 6-8 p.m. July 13 at the Northgate Community Center gymnasium, 504 N.E. 95th St.
