BUDGET
The Pro Parks Levy Opportunity Fund provides $150,000 for this park development project. A grant from King County provides $75,000 for this park development.
Haller Lake is a small lake in north Seattle. This project will
improve public access to the west side of the lake, along the North
125th Street right-of-way. Community priorities include restoration
of the eroding shoreline, and creation of a small park where people
can picnic and birdwatch. Winter visitors include coots, shovelers,
buffleheads, ruddy ducks, mergansers, gadwalls, and cormorants.
The lake is also occasionally stocked with fish and the park is intended to accommodate the fishing that already takes place at the street end.
The community submitted this project through the first cycle of the Pro Parks Levy Opportunity Fund, but it was not selected through that process.
The Haller Lake Community Club secured a small and simple Neighborhood Matching grant and conducted a public process to create the draft plan for the park.
The community then obtained the support and endorsement of six neighborhood groups and successfully submitted the project through the second cycle of the Pro Parks Levy Opportunity Fund.
