Burien Parks on Friday posted the following update, indicating that delays have pushed the Seahurst Park Beach Restoration Project re-opening back to August (our last report projected a late July date):
As construction continues in the upland areas of the park along the main trail, work has focused on the installation of the thousands of feet of irrigation throughout the project site. As irrigation sections are completed, the installation of plant materials and grass will follow. Miscellaneous metal work, such as guardrails along the new fish ladder at the Marine Lab is being completed. The compacted gravel pathways throughout the site are beginning to be installed and the lower parking lot has now been demolished and re-graded, including installation of associated drainage culverts and rain garden infrastructure. For recent photos of these developments, please visit the project photo album on Flickr. As reported in the last update we are still focusing on an August re-opening of the park. We also want to acknowledge everyone’s patience as we get closer to the completion of this project. Are you on Facebook?
