Edgewater Park Renovations
Edgewater Park is a small City of Everett park located on Mukilteo Blvd. at Shore Avenue, just east of the City of Mukilteo. Everett is proposing to redo the park in 2 phases. Phase 1 includes construction of a new shared use sport court that will include striping for 2 pickleball courts, as well as basketball and tennis. (The current park includes a tennis court, but no pickleball lines.)
Phase II park renovations will include many features that support pickleball players and family members. These include a basketball half court separate from the tennis/pickleball courts (to allow basketball use if the shared court is in use by tennis or pickleball players), a water fountain, benches, new play equipment, a walking path around the park, picnic tables and benches, restored open play lawn area, enhanced landscaping/tree canopy, improved parking, etc. Many of these features will improve ADA accessibility in the park.
The Phase 1 sport court will start in Spring 2025. The park (minus the sport court) will be used as a construction staging area for reconstructing the Edgewater Bridge. That project will close Mukilteo Blvd for a year. The Phase 2 park improvements will not be constructed until after the bridge is completed. The City is applying for grant funding for the Phase 2 improvements, and has requested letters of support.
Please submit a letter to the City no later than July 3, 2024
