WWRP Applicant: Seattle Parks & Rec Dept
RCO Project Number: 02-1049
County: King 
Legislative District: 46th 
WWRP Category: Water Access
WWRP Grant: $500,000
Applicant Match: $877,178
Recipient Match: $877,178
Project Type: Development
Date Funded: 2003

Description:

Seattle's proposal is to develop a major public non-motorized boating facility at the Sand Point North Shore Area, which is located in popular Sand Point Magnuson Park. There are currently no other formalized public facilities that support non-motorized boating recreation and access to the northern end of Lake Washington. As a key component of the City's Sand Point Magnuson Master Reuse Plan, this proposal will improve boating access to Lake Washington, accommodate people with disability, and provide necessary support amenities and facilities. The proposed improvements includes construction of 3 new docks and 3 new ramps, 1 new float, a boat launching beach, on-land boat storage, a waterfront promenade, picnic area, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and development of an aquatic habitat area as a mitigation requirement of the permitting process. The location of the aquatic habitat is sited away from the location of the new docks and ramps and there is adequate buffer between the two amenities to maintain a good balance for park users.
