Magnuson P-Patch Grants

Magnuson P-Patch

This project will address three accessibility issues in the Magnuson P-Patch located at 7400 Sand Point Way NE: (1) eliminating annual flooding on a portion of the accessible paths through the p-patch. This flooding precludes those with any type of walking assist from using that portion of the path during half the year; (2) a pilot program to access a retaining wall design along 100' of the same path. The goal here is to prevent plots and weeds from encroaching onto the path; (3) repair rotting boards on the raised beds and/or replace the beds with galvanized tanks in the section of the p-patch that's designated for gardeners with mobility issues. An additional goal of the project is to strengthen the relationship between the P-Patch and the residents of Magnuson Housing. This project will be completed by December 31, 2021.

The Magnuson P-Patch community group will repair and upgrade infrastructure at the Magnuson P-Patch in Magnuson Park at Sand Point. They will repair the tool shed, replace tools, install hose hangers, repair tool storage boxes, and replace raised beds in Food Bank gardens. Construction and repairs will be done in March-May of 2018, with a community celebration in June.
