and investment strategies; and responding to growing service demands through partnerships,
innovation and outcome management.
This grant funding will help fund the completion of a neighborhood park that serves a highly
diverse population. The park will serve as an anchor in the Sunset area and will be the catalyst
for further transforming the neighborhood; parks are an integral part to a community's
economic, cultural, social and environmental infrastructure. The park will offer multiple
opportunities for recreation, environmental education, social gathering and partnerships with
the adjacent King County Library, the Renton School District and community members helping
to build a stronger and healthier community.
Community & Equity Impact
This park is a gateway facility for the Sunset area and a catalyst for transforming a part of the
City that was the site of World War II -era housing and is working to overcome academic, health
care and obesity, public safety, and socio-economic challenges.The estimated 6,137 residents
who live within a %2-mile park service radius are in an area where 70 percent of the housing is
considered sub -standard. Fifty-one percent of the population is non -white, the area's poverty
rate is 27 percent, the unemployment rate is 6.6 percent, and violent crime rate is 2.5 times the
city's average. The obesity rate is 25 percent for grades 8-12 and adults, 43% of adults 18 and
older have high cholesterol and screen time (grades 8 - 12) is 58 percent. Over thirteen percent
(13.4 percent) do not have a high-school diploma.
- The park will facilitate healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities for increased levels of
physical activity, helping to diminish the risk of obesity -related chronic diseases.
- The park will be an essential element in improved human and environmental health. In
addition to multiple opportunities for physical activity people will have the opportunity to
connect to nature, experience improved air quality, experience improved water quality and
reduced storm water runoff with the co -located rain garden and regional storm water facility
(Phase 1) and participate in environmental education.
- The park will foster community cohesion by offering opportunities for people of all ages to
interact, communicate, compete, learn and grow, participate in Block Watch Programs, and
volunteer. Numerous studies have shown that the more webs of human relationships a
neighborhood has (termed "social capital"), the stronger, safer and more successful it is. (One
of the best measurements for Community Cohesion is volunteerism).
- The park will facilitate a healthy, vibrant neighborhood with increased sales tax revenue
attributed to increased spending at new and expanded businesses and tourism. This park will
be the venue for the multi -day International Festival, outdoor concerts, movies in the park and
children's shows.
- The park will help to foster a walkable community. The park is centrally located and utilizing
the "Complete Streets" approach will be linked to area residences, business and schools (three
RESOLUTION NO. 4340
City of Renton - Sunset Neighborhood Pk Ph. II - Exhibit I
schools are within a 1/2 mile walking distance), thereby encouraging residents and employees
to exercise and use alternative modes of transportation.
Project Management & Evaluation
The City's Capital Project Coordinator will provide project management from design through
construction contract administration, and the grant administration. During design,
opportunities will be provided for staff to review the project. During construction, the
Coordinator will preside over weekly Owner/Architect Contractor meetings to review project
progress, and review all expenses and invoices. Project Substantial Completion and Final
Acceptance will be completed after all the site work has been accomplished. A Building Permit
and a Public Health Permit (water feature) will be acquired prior to the contractor receiving the
Notice to Proceed. The City's Parks Maintenance team will implement the Landscape
Management Plan developed for the park and follow best management practices.
