The Pinehurst Pocket Park was purchased in June 2004 by Seattle,
Parks and Recreation using ProParks Levy Opportunity Fund and King
County Conservation Futures Fund. The Pinehurst Community Council
(PCC) recently received a $10,000 award from the Department of Neighborhoods
to hire a landscape architect to design the park.

| PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
The PCC envisions a quiet, easily accessible,
pedestrian-oriented pocket park. The currently undeveloped lot is
already visually attractive due to existing Douglas Fir trees. Initial
ideas for the park include a street-side patio, benches, a covered
kiosk for community information, a historic exhibit, and a short
nature trail that passes around the Fir trees. Some neighbors have
suggested small play structures for children. A failing fence that
surrounds the lot on two sides will need to be replaced.
Fund-raising Goals
Funds will still need to be obtained for the development of the
park. The PCC has already applied to the second round of the ProParks
Levy for these funds. The PCC will likely also apply to the Neighborhood
Matching Fund and raise local funds and in-kind donations for development.
