Help Us Make Sunset School Park a Bit Greener!
The City of Shoreline's Surface Water Utility is working with community residents to make Sunset School Park a little bit greener! We are creating designs for green features that help soak up rainwater and protect streams, lakes, and Puget Sound. These green features also add other environmental benefits, like creating shade and supporting pollinators.
Last fall, community members shared their ideas for green improvements at the park. Using that input, we created five design options for green spaces at the Park—and now we’d love to hear what you think!

About this project: This is a planning project led by the City's Surface Water Utility in partnership with the City's Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department. This design planning project will create a detailed design for new green features at Sunset School Park that will help soak up rainwater and protect our streams, lakes, and Puget Sound. This is a design project only, meaning that construction of any new green features is currently unfunded. The Surface Water Utility plans to use the final designs to apply for grant funding to install the selected green features. Any final design plan will only affect the most western part of the park,potentially removing some lawn and asphalt at the park. The majority of the park will stay the same for all the same current uses such sports, walking, biking, and playing. This project is funded through a King County Waterworks Grant.
The first community survey report is available here!

Take Survey
The City of Shoreline's Surface Water Utility is working with community to make Sunset School Park a little greener - and we need your help!
This survey shares five design options for green features that will help soak up rainwater at the park, protecting nearby streams and Puget Sound. These green features also offer other environmental benefits, like creating shade, absorbing greenhouse gases, and supporting pollinators.
Your feedback will help us pick 1-3 options to turn into detailed plans. We’ll use those plans to apply for funding to bring these improvements to life!
What stays the same? We’ll only be removing some lawn and asphalt—most of the open space will stay for sports, walking, biking, and play.
