City of Burien

Project Overview

The City of Burien received Community Development Block Grant funding to renovate the tot play area in Lakeview Park. The existing play area was composed of very outdated and non-compliant metal bar play structures and the play area surfacing was not compliant with current ADA or playground safety fall zone standards. In addition to the play area, this project also replaced approximately half of the asphalt pathway that runs along the east and south side of the lawn area to remove tripping hazards.

A community meeting was held on June 26, 2018 and responses to surveys conducted online and at several community events provided public input for the playground design. The project for park improvements were awarded to Nordvind. Final design was completed in July 2018 and construction started in November 2018.
