VOLUNTEER PARK LILLY POND IMPROVEMENTS
In partnership with the Volunteer Park Trust, Seattle Parks and Recreation and Friends of Seattle Olmsted Parks we designed and installed new wrought iron fences around Volunteer Park’s two lily ponds to make the park safer for children and allow for wildlife’s continued use of the ponds. The previous fencing around the north and south Lily ponds were flimsy, insubstantial and unsafe for the public. With the help of Neighborhood Matching Funds, donations, volunteer time and donated professional services the design successfully passed reviews by the City of Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board and its Architectural Review Committee, and was approved by Seattle Parks and Recreation. The design was inspired by similar historical fencing found in Olmsted parks. Completed by Chris Jones, as Principal in Charge at Walker Macy, prior to founding Groundswell.
