Roanoke Park is a neighborhood park located at 70th Avenue SE and West Mercer Way. The park's playground equipment includes ship-themed climbing structures installed in 2004 as well as swings and a Spinami installed in 2012. All structures will be replaced as part of this playground replacement project, and the site will also be evaluated for ADA/accessibility upgrades as part of the process. Additionally, the Berger Partnership, the City's consultant leading design and community engagement for early playground replacements, is developing a site concept that will include improvements to parking and new perimeter fencing.
Stay tuned to this Let's Talk page for draft concepts to comment on and details about upcoming community engagement opportunities.

Thank you to the community members who participated in the Roanoke Playground Virtual Public Meeting on January 30! The video recording is available to watch here.
During the meeting, City staff and the consultant team from Berger Partnership asked three questions to collect more input on swing styles and site amenities. The same questions have been posted here to provide community members who missed the meeting the opportunity to comment.
Responses will be collected through Friday, February 9, and will be combined with those received during the public meeting to inform the final site plan and equipment selection.

In 2022, Mercer Island voters approved a 16-year renewal of the parks levy, which continued funding for parks operations and maintenance in addition to funding playground replacements and Pioneer Park forest management.
The first playground scheduled for replacement is at Roanoke Park, and the community is invited to provide input about the type of playground equipment desired for the park through this survey!
The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete, and households with young people are encouraged to take the survey together! Survey results and refined Roanoke Park playground concepts will be shared at avirtual public meeting on January 30, 2024. Learn more and follow along in the process on Let’s Talk!
