Several program elements were identified in the Fremont Neighborhood
Plan. They included plazas, wheel chair accessibility, and hardscape
such as retaining walls and planters to mitigate the steep slopes.
The Parks Department conducted a thorough and open design process
with extensive opportunities for community involvement.
The park is oriented to the south with good sun exposure and is
well suited to pedestrian connections between the library, commercial
core and nearby single and multi-family properties.
In 2003, this new park was named Ernst Park for a Fremont resident
who was instrumental in the implementation of the Olmsted parks
plan in Seattle.
