The West Seattle Junction neighborhood is a vibrant, growing neighborhood with immediate access to shopping, community activities, and restaurants. The West Seattle Junction Park will add a much needed green space amenity to this already thriving neighborhood.
The property for the West Seattle Junction Park was acquired by Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) in 2012. West Seattle Junction Park is Land Bank Site which was previously occupied by the Seattle Fire Department as part of a lease agreement. Seattle Fire Department will demolish temporary buildings, and will restore the site to pre-rental conditions. Public benefi t street improvements will be pursued as part of adjacent new developments.
The design will incorporate accessibility in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as SPR’s intent to create access to open space in high density urban areas. Impervious surface shall be limited to 15% or less, excluding trail and circulation surfaces.

DESIGN COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS:
1. Address the design of the two park edges along the adjacent alley2. Consider re-aligning the southern pathway and gateway features along 40th Ave SW with the midblock pedestrian pathway that crosses 40th Ave SW3. Consider simplifying the overall design concept through refi ning and reducing the plant and hardscape material palette
DESIGN REVISIONS IMPLEMENTED:
1. 36” height metal fence along rear and side alley. 2. Realigned southern path to align with mid-block crossing.3. Design Simplifi cation across the park as a whole: -Redesign of Central Feature - Simplifi ed geometry, extended boardwalk, reduction of gateway features, more naturalized planting, removal of seatwall feature. -Simplifi ed Materiality - Refi ned furnishings palette, simplifi ed color palette.

ACCESSIBILITY PLAN
ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES
The park has been designed with universal access needs in mind, with generous pathway leading throughout the park, fl ush transitions between surfaces and multiple accessible routes connecting program areas. Play features are on accessible surfaces with fl ush transitions from adjacent pavement and all seating areas have room for accessible seating with companion seating immediately adjacent.

LIGHTING PLAN
FEATURE LIGHTING
Perforated metal gateways will be internally illuminated and glow with color-changing or static color LED luminaires. Wet location linear LED luminaires (tape) will be mounted to the underside of the boardwalk, running continuously along the length of the crossing boardwalks. When someone walks through the gateway, a sensor can trigger a change to the color of the light in both gateway and boardwalk, or a change to the light intensity for a static color (brighter when someone walks through). This provides a place that responds to movement through site, is experientially different when occupied, and allows the boardwalk to visibly fl oat above the coastal grass plantings. The same color light can also illuminate the curved front face of the elevated wooden stage.
AMBIENT LIGHTING
Pole-mounted multi-head adjustable luminaires will be located between play zones and seating areas, and aimed to provide suffi cient ambient light. These pole mounted luminaires are utilitarian and provide high degree of fl exibility for fi ne tuning light levels for the different spaces.
Pedestrian light columns, matching the existing installation and spacing in front of Sky Apts, will continue the pattern along the street front of 40th Ave SW.

SUSTAINABILITY SUMMARY
CREATING A SUSTAINABLE PARK
As the West Seattle Community grows the pressures on infrastructure and the environment grow as well. Our goal for the park is to create a beautiful, functional space that embraces impactuful, yet maintainable sustainable measures.
MAKING SUSTAINABILITY SIMPLE
Employing sustainable measures should be simple, and not create maintanence and longevity problems for the community. The measures in West Seattle Junction Park include the following:
Permeable Concrete Paving
Native, Adaptive Planting Palette
Dark Sky Compliant LED Lighting
Stormwater Quality Treatment
Low Albedo Concrete colors
Contained Pet Area with Drainage
Natural Material Play Equipment
Planted Areas for Carbon Sequestration
FSC Certifi ed Wood
These measures will help the City continue to showcase sustainability in the public realm, and will directly benefi t the citizens of West Seattle.
