North Park Upgrade

Licton Springs is a green neighborhood. As a neighborhood we are privileged to have two parks, but the North Park,
located between N. 105th and N. 107th, adjacent to Northgate Way, has never been fully developed. Presently there is a disc golf course occupying the southern portion of the park(find out more about disc golf here) but the rest of the park is not maintained and is unuseable. The neighborhood plan called for the preservation of Kelm House but the Department of Parks and Recreation did not approve those plans. The Parks Department did approve that the surrounding grounds be developed as a decorative sculpture garden. The Department of Neighborhoods has approved 25,000 dollars for a complete landscape design and some initial construction. It will take more money than that to completely redevelop the park, but once a landscape plan is finalized, Parks and Open Spaces will be able to apply for more funding. Edie Whitset, of the Parks and Open Spaces Committee is in charge of the effort to hire a landscape consultant. If you would like to join the Parks Committee, or if you would like to apply your landscaping skills for lasting neighborhood benefit, please call Edie at 206-522-1726.
