As of May 2008
Phase: Design
As mitigation for impacts from the King County's Brightwater Project, a new park is being developed at the Richmond Beach Pump Station site. The project is being designed and reviewed for permits. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2008. The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Board will recommend a new name for City Council's consideration this spring.

Overview & History
This new park site is located in the Richmond Beach Neighborhood of Shoreline at Richmond Beach Drive NW and NW 198th Street along the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad mainline that runs along the shoreline of Puget Sound.

The City of Shoreline has obtained a 50-year recreation easement on this 2.3-acre parcel of land from King County as mitigation for impacts from the Brightwater Sewage Treatment Project. In the mitigation agreement between the City of Shoreline and King County, it was agreed that the County would provide $750,000 of mitigation funding for City of Shoreline community improvements. Most of the mitigation funding has been designated for the creation of a new City park in the Richmond Beach neighborhood of Shoreline at the Pump Station site. This park is currently being called Richmond Beach Pump Station Park until it receives a new name following City and County naming policies. The remaining funding has not been programmed at this time, and thus, no component has been identified as of yet.

In June 2005, a Master Plan document was finalized during the public involvement process. This document was an attachment to the approved Surface Use Agreement. This document is a comprehensive overview of the public involvement and input process which defined and prioritized the park elements shown in the Master Site Plan.
