Roanoke Park Playground Replacement

Roanoke Park is a neighborhood park located at 70th Avenue SE and West Mercer Way.

In 2025, the City renovated the playground, including replacing the ship-themed climbing structure installed in 2004 as well as swings and a Spinami installed in 2012; improving accessibility with a new ADA parking stall, pathways, poured-in-place play area surfacing, and picnic amenities; and enhancing drainage infrastructure at the park.

The renovated play area is now open for community use! Over the next few months, City crews will put the finishing touches on the park. Follow along here on Let's Talk for updates on the final construction items.

Provide Additional Input for Swings and Site Amenities

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.

Roanoke Playground Equipment Survey

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 a virtual public meeting on January 30, 2024. Learn more and follow along in the process on Let’s Talk!
