Construction at Lake Forest Park's newest park - Whispering Willow Park - is now underway.

The park, located at 17038 44th Ave NE, was purchased by the City in 2011 with grant funds to restore the wetland and create a nature park for residents to enjoy. The park will feature a recycled boardwalk and viewing platform, a natural play area for children to enjoy, and walking paths for those who are interested in taking a nature walk and viewing beautiful Lyon Creek.

Residents should expect minimal disturbance to neighborhood traffic. Periodic patrols by the Lake Forest Park Police Department will keep an eye on the project. This summer's Phase I of construction will be completed around mid-October 2014.

Questions regarding construction should be directed to City Hall 206-368-5440.
