As of May 2021
Seeking funding for design and development

This wooded property located at 709 N 150th Street is 0.43 acres. The City acquired the property in 2020 using funds from Park Impact Fees paid through new development. Purchase price for the property was $620,000.

The property sits almost in the middle of the Westminster Triangle neighborhood. Naming it Westminster Park reflects the neighborhood, the community, and its geographical identification.

Next steps

As future funding is identified for design and development of the park, the public will have an opportunity to comment. 

Background

The City's Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan, approved by Council on July 31, 2017, identified areas in the City in need of additional park and open space, including the Westminster Triangle Neighborhood, in order to provide all residents with a 15-minute walk to a park with active and passive uses.

Park Naming Process 

On April 19, 2021, City Council adopted names for Shoreline’s two newest parks. The park to be located at 709 N 150th Street will be named Westminster Park and the park to be located at 1341 N 185th Street will be named Edwin Pratt Memorial Park.

The park naming process began with the City soliciting potential park names from the public for both parks. Taking all of the submitted suggestions, City staff sent recommendations to the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Board. The Board deliberated and forwarded their recommendations of Westminster Park and Edwin Pratt Memorial Park to the City Council.
