The Seattle Department of Parks & Recreation announced recently that they have awarded a construction contract to L.W. Sundstrom for renovation work on the B.F. Day Playground. Construction on the playground, located north of the elementary school, is slated to begin immediately, with the play area open once again by summer of 2022.
The renovation project will replace play equipment and improve an adjacent picnic area. The new play equipment configuration reflects a theme of ‘nature play’ and will include new slides, swings and balancing equipment.
The renovations also include replacing the public drinking fountain and making the playground more accessible in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and national safety standards.
Funding for this renovation of the B.F. Day Playground is provided by the Seattle Park District, a funding source approved by Seattle voters in 2014.
