FINAL MASTER PLAN Final Master Plan Recommendations for Senator Henry M. Jackson Park re- spond to the site analysis, park history, programming require- ments, city goals, regulatory requirements, and community in- put received during the design process. The Final Master Plan describes Vehicular Access and Parking; Pedestrian/Non- motorized Access and Circulation; Athletic Fields; Neighbor- hood Facilities; Buildings; Site Furnishings; Traffic; Planting; and, Utilities. This chapter contains a detailed description of the recommendations. The final master plan provides more active spaces and park amenities on the east side of the park adjacent to E. Marine View Drive and commercial properties, and provides more passive, neighborhood oriented amenities on the west side of the park adjacent to residential areas. The plan addresses the needs of the neighborhood with provision of accessible pedes- trian pathways throughout the park, a new children's play area, upgraded picnic facilities, restrooms, neighborhood gathering space, interpretive and community gardens, a natural turf un- programmed open play area for impromptu neighborhood games, a basketball court, and unstructured open space, and new synthetic turf athletic fields. The designated viewpoint and view terrace with ample seating provides a place to enjoy mountain views as well as watch activities elsewhere in the park. Senator Henry M. Jackson is celebrated with a recogni- tion at the view terrace overlooking the athletic fields. All areas of the park are designed for year-round use and are in confor- mance with ADAAG. The final master plan incorporates design elements that conform to CPTED and sustainability goals sum- marized in the report introduction. Vehicular Access and Parking The final plan suggests acquisition of approximately 2 acres to the north. This acquisition would allow primary vehicular ac- cess to occur at a new park entrance off of E. Marine View Drive. Vehicular access to the north parking lot from E. Marine View Drive keeps most of the park traffic on the major arterial and off local neighborhood streets. A potential future signal may be provided at the north parking lot driveway intersection. The plan suggests potential future vehicular access to the ad- jacent property to the north. A turn-around loop with a centrally located drop-off area for ball games and events is provided at the west end of the main lot. The parking lot driveway is de- signed to accommodate large emergency vehicle and bus turning movements. Senator Henry M Jackson Park Master Plan 31
