Redmond, WA’s Grasslawn Park Re-do

I am sure you’ve noticed some construction activity at Grasslawn Park along 140th Ave NE. Grasslawn Park is one of the gems of Redmond. It has some gorgeous park facilities. From a wonderful gazebo,

to beautiful soccer and

baseball fields,

and to play equipment and more!

I contacted the city to get the full scoop. This is the third phase of the park “remodel”. Redmond is doing a number of upgrades to an already great park and incorporating some “green” eco-friendly elements as well.

This is what’s happening:

• A neighborhood gathering structure is being built with the all important bathrooms.  There will be a covered heated area for outdoor seating.
• New playground and equipment, complete with a “splash” feature.
• A resurfaced basketball court.
• A area of boulders with climbing features.
• More parking.
• New landscaping with environmentally sensitive rain gardens.
• A new maintenance building which will have a green roof, a roof that will have vegetation growing on it!

Here’s looking forward to spring to use the new and improved park facilities.
