Ballard Park Acquisition
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Seattle Parks and Recreation Department will use this grant to buy .9 acre in the densely populated Ballard area in northwest Seattle. The city has wanted this site for a park since the early 1990s but the owners have been unwilling to sell until now. They strongly support a public park being developed on their already park-like property. The Ballard area is densely populated, with fewer natural areas per capita than parts of Seattle. This is the last opportunity for the city to purchase property of this size from one owner. The city will contribute $2,826,193 in conservation futures and a voter-approved levy. (08-1292)
