PROJECT STATEMENT

http://www.seattle.gov/Documents/Departments/Park-sAndRecreation/PoliciesPlanning/LivingLandscapesF-inalDocument.pdf

The Living Landscapes in Seattle Parks Project aims to take the existing plant communities within Seattle and integrate them into the Seattle Parks and Recreation’s goal and mission statement of a “Healthy, Healthy, Strong” and accessible environment. Green space appeals to all people regardless of race, gender or age and with the increasing amount of urban development, green space becomes more and more important to prioritize and improve upon. The Living Landscapes in Seattle Parks Project will propel Seattle and the Seattle Parks and Recreation department onto the forefront of environmental stewardship and valuable place-making for our current generation and future generations to come.

Living Landscapes are plant communities that showcase community character, sustain robust urban ecosystems, and create human well being. The goals of the Living Landscapes in Seattle Parks Project will establish resources and processes that will promote and assess outstanding living landscapes in Seattle Parks.

Worked with other interns to produce the Living Landscapes in Seattle Parks Project . This project’s purpose was to create justification for improving upon and adding vegetative planting beds in Seattle’s parks . The booklet includes a functional assessment of benefits of vegetation in the city, case studies, discussion of equity, and recommendations to Seattle Parks and Recreation to help them accomplish vegetative health in Seattle and departmental cohesion .

PROGRAMMATIC FEATURES

SWALES MEADOWThe minimal planting design of the swales are effective at minimizing weed pressure. The slopes of the garden, as well as the placement and material buffer between human circulation prevent trampling and help maintain its health.

The large open fields are improved through the seeding of meadow species in order to create a large natural looking field. The vegetation allows for pollinators to use the site and the design element requires very minimal maintenance and attention.

A very open landscape featuring an off leash dog area on one side, as well as large open, meadow fields and play areas overlooking the Seattle city skyline.

STRUGGLING FEATURES

RECOMMENDATIONS

HILL SIDES

TOPIC AND DISCUSSION CURRENT STANDARD OR BMP CONSIDERATION

PLAY AREA PLACEMENTDue to the grade of some of the hills, the slides located in these areas may begin to present a CPTED issue. It is difficult for parents to monitor children at play and the area does harbor sleepers in the landings.

The play area is far away from both the parking lot and the comfort stations. However, it is placed to provide a view of the park and the Seattle skyline. The large open nature of the park makes this play area feel particularly safe.

Meadows: Meadows could be mowed once a year or not at all (West Seattle Reservoir).

Meadows: Meadows will require spot treatment of invasive plants (Mapleleaf).

BMP 5.8.2 - Section 2 currently reads: “One mowing every 2 to 3 years may be sufficient for woody brush control. Firebreak areas may require frequent mowing to maintain. Mowing heights should be approximately 4 to 5 inches or as determined by species composition. Preserve native herbaceous plants such as wildflowers or bulbs.”

“ Scotch broom and other noxious weeds colonize many meadow areas, especially if the vegetative cover is weak or not intact. If invasive brush is a minor problem, hand grubbing or spot spraying with a broadleaf herbicide are both options. When invasive brush is a major problem, it may be necessary to mow the meadow on an annual basis. Mowing should be timed to avoid disturbing wildlife. Spring should be avoided to allow protection for ground nesting birds. The site should be monitored for other wildlife activity before mowing occurs. Mowing should also be done before seed set of the targeted species. Mowing heights should be a minimum of 6 inches high to prevent excessive grass clippings and to minimize exposing bare ground. “

Mapleleaf and West Seattle Reservoir had some issues in the past with crews mowing several times a year, suggesting that the BMP is up-to-date but not implemented in several cases.

None.

Vegetation is a program element, not just a landscape feature.

Interesting vegetation restores attention,

reinforces neighborhood character,

& entices and welcomes people into parks.

AESTHETIC BENEFITSBEAUTIFUL SEATTLE

Right plant community, right plant, right place.

Distilled meadow, forest edge and open woodland plant communities enable a more diverse urban landscape experience.

DESIGN BUILD 2016

CAD drawings and final build of the Veteran’s Association Healing Garden in Beacon Hill, Seattle . The project was jointly produced by the Landscape Architecture graduating class of 2016 as part of their final capstone series . My contribution to the project was through designing some of the benches and handrails, calling in material orders and estimating for the project, layout and contruction of designed elements .

NATURAL INDUSTRY PARK

Natural Industry Park focuses on elements of Education, Ecology and Play . These goals are all fulfilled by allowing students from Concord Elementary, along with other parties in the neighborhood, to experience pollinator plants, a rain garden, and a dog park . The dog park’s design represents South Park’s industrial history and natural elements through landforms and structural pieces . Natural Industry Park also features an outdoor classroom that will serve as a space to learn about water quality, plants and pollinator species .
