CID Parks Partnership

The CID Parks Partnership will conduct post-occupancy evaluations (POEs) this summer and early fall for the Donnie Chin International Children's Park and Hing Hay Park. Our goal is to examine how these two recently completed community park efforts are performing and serving the local community. The purpose of a POE is to learn about the users of the parks and to investigate how the design of the parks served their needs. The evidence-based findings (based on interviews, focus groups, & behavior mapping) are expected to support future design of public parks in the District and beyond. Our expected outcome is building capacity within the community, better understanding of how to program parks for community, suggestions for future improvements, and a report that can be shared with the community, other neighborhoods, and Seattle Parks & Recreation. This project will be completed by January 31, 2019.

Friends of Picardo Farms P-patch

Community gardens should be designed so that they are inclusive and enjoyed by everyone regardless of age or physical ability. Picardo's goal is to be a public, welcoming, inclusive, and safe space serving over 500 gardeners and visitors from 2-90+ years of age. Last year the plots adjacent to our accessible raised beds were vacated, and we will now use that area to expand the number and variety of accessible raised beds. We have a wait list for such beds, so this will be a much-needed and long-awaited improvement. It will allow more seniors and persons with disabilities to join the community and extend their gardening careers. This project is entirely volunteer driven by our gardening community. This project will be completed by June 30, 2023.
