Hansen Park work not up to standard, park to stay closed

Published 4:12 pm Tuesday, February 10, 2015

Many residents are frustrated with the delay in opening the Jeanne Hansen Community Park on Snoqualmie Ridge.

The delay stems from the park developer’s progress. Construction does not yet meet the city’s development standards or pedestrian accessibility requirements, among other project completion elements.

Development work on the park was scheduled to be complete by August 1, 2014, in time for a grand opening September 6. The project was not finished, but the grand opening had been organized and went ahead as planned.

It is important to the city that all park features are fully functional and safe before the park is opened. A completion date has not been confirmed. For information, contact Daniel Marcinko, parks and public works director, at dmarcinko@ci.snoqualmie.wa.us or call (425) 831-4919.
