Public comment invited on proposed play equipment in Paramount School Park

The Shoreline Parks Department plans to upgrade the play area at Paramount School Park in the Ridgecrest Neighborhood. 2012 parks funds will be used to replace play equipment which is over 15 years old.

Staff has recommended equipment to replace the play structure on the east side of the park and add some picnic tables and swings. In keeping with the City's Healthy City Initiative, they are proposing the addition of outdoor exercise equipment for adults, such as an elliptical machine and stationary bike.

Approval of these proposals is on the Parks Board agenda for February 23, with the hope of installing the equipment early this summer.

The community is invited to share thoughts and ideas with the Parks Board in advance of the meeting via email or by calling Kirk Peterson, Parks Superintendent at 206-801-2611. The public is always welcome to address the Parks Board during the public comment section of any Parks Board meeting.

The Parks Board meets at Shoreline City Hall City Council Chambers from 7-9 pm.
