Hubbard Homestead Play Area
Updated: February 25, 2026
Early 2026
Seattle Parks and Recreation is excited to be opening the new aeronautical themed Hubbard Homestead play area in early March! Stop by the park to swing, climb, slide and explore!
SPR is also working with One Roof Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Seattel Kraken, to augment existing basketball court and create a sports court. We anticipate the sports court to open by end of summer 2026.
Location
Hubbard Homestead Park, 11203 5th Ave NE, 98125
Budget
The Seattle Parks District provides $600,000 in funding for this project.
Schedule
Planning and Design: Summer 2018 - Fall 2021
Bidding: Fall 2021
Construction: Fall 2022 - Early 2026 (play area opens in March and Sports Court late summer)
Project Description
This project will develop a play area within the existing Hubbard Homestead Park. The goal is to provide playground equipment that will include play elements and access for children of all ages and abilities. Improvements will include fall surfacing, seating, storm water mitigation and limited landscape improvements. The Play
Equipment will include an Airplane Climbing Play Toy, Slides, Swings and Climbing Toys. As part of this project, we decommissioned the playground at Victory Creek Park, 1059 NE Northgate Way, Seattle, WA 98125. Unfortunately, playgrounds are not designed and constructed to last forever, and this playground was no exception. Under Parks and Recreation policy number 060-P 5.12.1, decommissioning is necessary because it is substantially out of code compliance. The decommissioning of this playground allowed maintenance resources for a new play area at Hubbard Homestead Park.
