Date: March 5, 2006 Title: "Parks And Process: A troubling pattern" Reporter: Seattle PI Editorial Board Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"Seattle leaders must address public protest against the parks department. Recreation should make people healthy, not angry. Residents from several neighborhoods last weekend staged a protest that brought together brewing concerns. People are worried about public say in parks decisions, commercialization and, in the fight over cutting 17 trees in Pioneer Square's Occidental Park, even respect for nature... City leaders can't dismiss protest as a NIMBY infection... But expect more tension until the City Council and Nickels provide people greater confidence their parks will remain healthy assets for all." |

Date: February 24, 2006 Title: "Neighborhoods unite to protest park moves" Reporter: Kathy Mulady and Kery Murakami Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"First it was the plastic grass at Loyal Heights Playfield that upset neighbors. Then the four-story garage at Woodland Park Zoo caused an uproar. Next came an outcry over plans to cut down 17 trees at Occidental Park... In each case, concerned citizens and neighbors say they were left out of the decision-making process or never notified that major changes were planned at their neighborhood parks." |

Date: April 19, 2005 Title: "Magnuson Park sports field lights approved" Reporter: Kathy Mulady |
Details the City Council's decision to grant a pole height variance for only 4 lighted fields at this time, and require that the Parks Department come back for another pole height variance when it is ready to build the remaining 3 fields. "The Seattle City Council yesterday approved light poles for sports fields at Warren G. Magnuson Park that are twice as tall as are usually allowed in a residential area. The lights, which range in height from 66 to 85 feet, will be phased in, with four fields to be lighted first. The effect of the lights on the nearby wildlife habitat and residential areas will be monitored for two years before the other fields are lighted. " |
|
Date: March 26, 2005 Title: "City's debt payment balloons" Reporter: Kathy Mulady |
Mentions the possible use of "councilmanic bonds", which don't require a citizen vote, to fund the construction of lighted sports fields at Magnuson Park. "Some say councilmanic bonds are like giving a teenager a credit card and trusting them to use it wisely. Washington is one of the few states that allows cities to ring up a certain amount of debt without voter approval. " |

Mentions possibility of funding some development at Magnuson Park by selling field naming rights. |
|
Date: July 20, 2004 Title: "Group appeals city's OK of Magnuson ball fields" Reporter: Seattle PI Staff |
"Friends of Magnuson Park have filed an appeal in King County Superior Court to stop construction of 13 new sport fields at Sand Point Magnuson Park that were approved by the City Council last month. " "The group is challenging the environmental impact statement for the sports fields, claiming excessive light and noise will affect park users, neighbors and wildlife. The sports field plan was one of the most hotly debated issues to come before the council in recent years." |
|
Date: June 15, 2004 Title: "Council OKs Magnuson Park project" Reporter: Kathy Mulady Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"Seattle will get more than a dozen new sports fields and perhaps thousands more hours of playtime with City Council approval yesterday of the master plan for Sand Point Magnuson Park... The initial plan proposed by the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department and endorsed by Mayor Greg Nickels called for 15 fields, with 11 artificial turf fields that would be lighted until 11 every night. Council members crafted a compromise. Nine of the fields will be artificial turf. Of those, seven will have lights that must be turned off at 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. No lights will be used on Sundays. Four fields will have natural grass." |
|
Date: June 3, 2004 Title: "Plan for Magnuson park stands at seven lighted fields" Reporter: Kathy Mulady Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"In the end, the council's park committee agreed to seven lighted synthetic fields, with lights turned off at 10 each night and no lights at all on Sundays. The committee also approved two synthetic fields and four natural fields that won't have lights. The first phase of construction could start this summer. It would include the "sports meadow" section of the park and partial development of a 65-acre wetlands habitat... The plan is scheduled to go to the full council for a vote June 14." |
|
Date: May 21, 2004 Title: "A sensible plan for Magnuson Park" Author: Seattle PI Editorial Board Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"The Seattle City Council's plan for Sand Point Magnuson Park is evolving. So far, it's a compromise that looks healthy. A council committee has decided to eliminate two of 15 planned fields and limit lighting to seven fields rather than the 11 that had been proposed. Those are sensible moves that recognize neighborhood concerns and still promise adequate use of the park by a public hungry for healthy exercise opportunities... It's important for the entire council to stand up firmly for real recreational opportunities, developed sensitively. There's no reason to scale back seriously or postpone long-term planning just because of some vocal opposition..." |
|
Date: May 20, 2004 Title: "Sports field plan changes" Reporter: Kathy Mulady Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"The Seattle City Council's park committee took baby steps yesterday toward approving one of the most controversial issues on its agenda -- lighted sports fields at Sand Point Magnuson Park. The panel reduced the total number of fields and the number of fields that can have lights... The panel proposed reducing the total number of fields to 13, with just seven of those having lights. For now, funding is only available for a fraction of those fields. Several more decisions are still ahead, including how many of the fields will be synthetic turf, what time lights will be turned off, and how many fields should be for soccer, baseball, or other sports." "The total project as proposed by the parks department is expected to cost about $60 million. About $12 million will be paid from the Pro Parks Levy approved by Seattle voters four years ago. 'There is no evidence of a future funding commitment,' said Councilman Peter Steinbrueck, who's also on the committee. 'We could find ourselves in a real pickle if this comes up in the budget when we are looking for money for police, libraries and other services.' Steinbrueck said he wants the parks department to proceed incrementally with field development and re-evaluating the project often." |

Date: May 11, 2004 Title: "Adding fields at Magnuson not likely to reduce obesity" Author: Ruth Etzioni [Guest Columnist] Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"What evidence do we have that building more fields for organized sports will either cure or prevent obesity? First consider the cure question. Will a massive new sports facility inspire sedentary Seattleites to get active? This would imply that we are not exercising because we don't have enough fields for organized sports. In fact, among major West Coast cities, Seattle has the most fields per capita. But lack of sports fields does not even register among the many barriers to physical activity identified by researchers. The CDC cites lack of time, social support, energy, willpower, skill and financial resources as among the most common reasons that U.S. adults are not more physically active." |

Date: April 23, 2004 Title: Two letters to the editor Authors: Christine Burkhart, Bill Alexander Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
Christine Burkhart: "Kids do deserve more places to play. Why not start by renovating rundown existing fields and then place new ones in several neighborhoods around the city. Why should we destroy a gem of an urban wildlife habitat so adults can play softball until 11 p.m.? Why not tear up some empty asphalt instead?" Bill Alexander: "I consider the current state of most of the open parkland as neglected. I do not regard tall blackberry thickets as precious natural habitat. The 'natural' Sand Point was entirely underwater until 90 years ago." |
|
Date: April 20, 2004 Title: "Unprecedented plan for Magnuson Park" Author: Sharon LeVine (guest columnist) Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"Seattle residents endure cuts in city programs, jobs, social services and park maintenance due to financial shortfalls. Meanwhile, the Seattle Parks Department plans to implement an extravagant program (costing about $160 million) to install 45 artificial surfaces and stadium lights on many neighborhood playfields. These surfaces cost an average of $1 million per field and last only 10 years... Park officials across the United States buy few or none of these surfaces, because they're thought to be a luxury for public park departments... [Seattle] Residents should question why Seattle wants to build costly fields to satisfy 'the demands' of sports interests (including 'for-profit' groups) when no other major park department does so." "Seattle is already a national leader with 11 installed synthetic fields. Our plan for 45 is unreasonable when compared to plans of other major cities: Portland and San Francisco have two; Los Angeles has one donated by Nike, plus another planned. Oakland, San Diego, Chicago and Philadelphia have none. Boston has four, plus one more planned. And, Brooklyn (population 2.5 million) has five. " "Tell our reps that 'demands' for advanced and intensive adult play plus 'demands' of for-profit groups should be met by private enterprise. Tell the City Council that the 'demand' for $160 million for synthetic surfaces and lights should not be a primary government priority and can be better spent maintaining current facilities for maximum use." |

Date: April 18, 2004 Title: Multiple letters responding to April 11 Editorial Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
Al Skaar: "Why should we spend $60 million to convert a beautiful, lakeshore park that already serves all of the residents of Seattle into a gigantic, brightly lit sports complex that will serve only about 3 percent of the Seattle population? ... By demanding the construction of a huge, lighted sports complex, a relative few, well-financed and politically connected adult sports promoters are trying to get the rest of us to subsidize their entertainment, while hiding behind the argument that it's for kids." Michael Williams: "In 2000, the parks department requested $9.3 million for five fields at Magnuson Park. Now they're proposing 15 fields with no budget to build and maintain them. Yet another public agency entrusted with the taxpayers' money, asking for one thing and taking it upon themselves to do another." John Figge: "While the people of Northeast Seattle have long supported (and paid taxes for) a large park in our part of the city, I certainly do not recall any public vote on whether we wanted this truly spectacular opportunity developed into a vast regional team-sports mega-complex. " Denise Derr: "If this plan goes forward, Seattle will have the largest sport complex of synthetic turf in the entire world. The 'dramatic shortfall in fields' argument lost its validity about 85 million tax dollars ago. Through educational and open green space levies, taxpayers have unknowingly funded millions and millions of dollars to improve public playfields for adult league use. Forget about the 'expanding waistline' spin. How about tracking political interest groups that infiltrate a government agency that orchestrates the hidden funding of millions of tax dollars that stack public meetings, pass resolutions and rewrite our community plan without full public disclosure?" |
|
Date: April 17, 2004 Title: "Park backers: Let us run it" Reporter: Kathy Mulady Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"A Seattle group that is pushing for a controversial athletic field development at Sand Point Magnuson Park now says it wants to take control of building, managing and operating the complex as well. In a report to the city, Friends of Athletic Fields has proposed that its president, Peter Lukevich, along with board members Geoff Clayton and Scott Freeman, serve as interim directors for the sports field and wetlands development... Pad Gallagher, a spokesman for the Magnuson Park group, called the proposal a clear conflict of interest, and said it suggests that the city-owned park is on its way to being turned into a commercial venture for regional tournament play." "Under the management proposal presented to the city last month by Friends of Athletic Fields and Northwest Parks Foundation, an additional $14 million to $19 million would be funded through private bonds or bonds issued by the city. The rest of the money would come from a private fund-raising campaign that would include field naming rights." "Kristen Bush, executive director of the Northwest Parks Foundation, which is overseeing much of the fund raising, said she is concerned about the appearance of a conflict, but said there will be a balance of people on the board... But opponents of the project say the city's relationship with Lukevich is too cozy. He was a member of the original parks advisory committee that developed the Pro Parks Levy , and recently was reappointed by the council to the Pro Parks Levy Citizen Oversight Committee. He also was paid a $5,000 consulting fee by the city parks department to approach the Washington National Guard about working on the park as part its Department of Defense Innovative Readiness Training program. The guard has expressed interest." |

Date: April 11, 2004 Title: "Move ahead with Magnuson plan" Author: Seattle PI Editorial Board Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"Seattle must move forward with the long-promised athletic fields at Sand Point Magnuson Park... At a time of expanding waistlines and increasing population density, developing the fields is a vital city interest. Acting quickly will contribute to creating a healthy balance in a park whose spaces easily can provide for many more people." |
|
Date: April 4, 2004 Title: "Reader prefers greenery to monorail machinery" (13th Letter to the Editor) Author: Mark Lawler Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"This proposal [to route the monorail through the middle of Seattle Center] continues our city's sorry history of saving small bits of money by locating facilities in public spaces. The list of shame includes Metro's huge Westpoint sewage treatment plant in Discovery Park, another water facility in the middle of Carkeek Park and a fish hatchery in the middle of Seward Park. A vast acreage of adult playfields is now proposed to occupy the middle of Magnuson Park, with the fields to be lit up well into the night. Seattle loses some of its soul every time we site facilities in public green spaces." |
|
Date: March 22, 2004 Title: "Park not meant for commercialism" Author: R.A. Brown (guest columnist) Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"... the adults in Seattle soccer wanted an industrial-scale fields complex, joined with softball and rugby to make Sand Point a sports field complex unrivaled in the Northwest. They ignored the Pro Parks levy that approved $13 million for SPP and proposed a fields complex that drives the costs to more than four times this amount. The extra money won't come from the taxpayer. It might come from the forces behind the field's proposals, and the return will come to them only by charging for field use. Our local park was not meant for this crass, environmentally degrading, semi-commercial fate. I hope that Mayor Greg Nickels and the City Council send this project back to committee." "I'm glad to see Hegarty is continuing the traditions and sports interest that we started 33 years ago. But he and the sports field moguls are Johnny-come-latelys. I hope he manages to live beyond and rise above his soccer passion to enjoy the rest of the world, the animals, the birds, the vistas, the quiet and the beautiful walks through it all. Then he can join the vast rest of the community..." "I am shamelessly advocating for our children, our community and the future. The city must support the vastly larger community of walkers, birders, joggers, environmentalists and the ecological value of this last piece of open space in Seattle. It must be defended from the single-issue, narrow perspective, self-interested naïveté of the soccer fanatics. I fear that I created a monster." |
|
Date: March 17, 2004 Title: "Organized leagues won't compromise" (6th Letter to the Editor) Author: Francine Rennert Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"The organized sports leagues have been completely unwilling to compromise on the scope of this massive plan. These special interest groups portray themselves as advocates for children, but children don't play late at night. If this complex is built, the fields, while lit, will primarily be used by adults from throughout the region (not just Seattle) -- and not by kids." "The [Seattle City] council needs to reconsider the balanced, fiscally responsible Pro-Parks Levy plan, which before late 1999 called for five additional grass fields without lights. Otherwise, an irreplaceable piece of Seattle nature will be lost forever." |

Date: March 15, 2004 Title: "Let play fields light up kids' future" Author: Pat Hegarty, LVR Soccer Coach Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/ |
"A recreational soccer player, my daughter has played with the LVR Blaze for eight years... Through LVR Youth Soccer and the Seattle Youth Soccer Association, we have grown into, and become a part of, a community. So it's no surprise that I wholeheartedly support the Sandpoint/Magnuson Park plan... and I hope that soon the City Council and Mayor Greg Nickels will put an end to the delaying tactics of a few... This is what the Sandpoint/Magnuson plan means to me, lights and all. It is about building community... I sincerely hope that our elected officials will consider carefully our children, our future and not support the naysayers and NIMBYs..." |

Date: March 10, 2004 Title: "Toss plan to rebuild (light up) the site " (8th Letter to the Editor) Author: Patricia Coburn Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
"It [Magnuson Park] does not need to be rebuilt; it needs to be preserved, for the survival of wildlife and for the peace of mind of human users. Plans for a highly lit sports complex at the park are so extreme that most of the park will suffer from glare when lights are on; the glow will be seen for miles.When the public voted money to 'improve' Magnuson Park, nothing like this was indicated. Voters did not vote for park degradation. What happened after the vote could use some investigation. Why does an 'environmental mayor' approve this project? Who on the City Council will speak up for wildlife?" |
| Date: Mar. 6, 2004 Title: "Nickels cuts $9.3 million more; Seattle mayor warns the budget pain will get worse next year" Reporter: Kathy Mulady |
"An additional $9.3 million in cuts to the Seattle city budget were announced yesterday, bringing the total dollars cut by Mayor Greg Nickels since taking office to an even $100 million. " The expected cuts include "About $1.4 million from the parks department by reducing some maintenance of pools, a ball field and restrooms; delaying computer replacement; and cutting funding to Seattle Conservation Corps." "... the mayor warned that next year will be tougher: The city could face a $20 million budget gap. Library and community center hours could be cut, street and bridge work could be postponed, and other programs that were spared so far could face cuts." |
| Date: Feb. 17, 2004 Title: "Sports complex too large, too bright for lake's neighbors" (7th Letter to the Editor) Author: Peggy J. Printz Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion |
"The footprint of the proposed Magnuson sports complex is larger than Safeco Field. Its glow would light up the sky for miles, not as 'a little circle of light' as a Parks Department spokeswoman claimed in Wednesday's article." |
| Date: Feb. 11, 2004 Title: "Let there be less light, Kirkland says" Reporter: Gordy Holt Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ |
The article focuses on the concerns of Kirkland City Councilmember Dave Asher about the light and noise pollution that would be caused by the 11 lighted fields the Seattle Parks Department plans for Magnuson Park. There are also quotes from Jean Godden, a Seattle City Council member who sits on the council's Parks, Neighborhoods and Education Committee. "The council did look at seven lighted fields initially [back in 1999], but now there are 11 that somehow got there without council approval. So I think we need to go back and study how we got to this position." |
| Date: Oct. 21, 2003 Title: "Fort Dent has new stewards" Reporter: Jeffrey Barker Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local |
A result of a public / private partnership, a $10 million soccer complex with four grass fields (for seasonal use) and four fields with artificial turf & lights (all-weather, year-round use) opened at Fort Dent Park in Tukwila, near the intersection I-5 and I-405 (East of the airport). Two indoor soccer fields are planned. |
| Date: July 31, 2003 Title: "Proposal makes light of neighbors' concerns" (1st Letter to Editor) Author: Al Skaar Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion |
"On one side of the scale there are a few thousand adult sports participants who want to play in the evening, which requires lighted fields. On the other side of the scale there are many thousands of people who are neighbors of the parks and lighted play fields who will be subjected to the additional noise, traffic and light intruding into their lives every day and every night until as late as 11 p.m. … It seems grossly unfair to force neighbors of lighted sports fields to sacrifice … a healthy quality of life so that another group of people can have the luxury of entertaining themselves." |
| Date: July 28, 2003 Title: "A better shine for an urban gem" (Editorial) Author: Seattle Post Intelligencer Editorial Board Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion |
In coming months, the mayor and the City Council could make final decisions on the long-term vision [for Magnuson Park], already subjected to big doses of Seattle process… At the center of the current dispute is the city's inclusion of a complex of lighted fields, many with synthetic turf, for soccer, baseball and softball… Are the numbers and types of fields 100 percent correct? Probably not -- the city eventually might decide it doesn't need all of them. Will the lighting plans work for neighbors and wildlife? Probably -- though there is certainly room to squeeze the hours of use…. The city already has shown its good-faith readiness to compromise. The plan's limited lighting and the absence of bleachers already guarantees the fields will never turn into some garish complex for non-stop, high-level tournaments. |
| Date: July 4, 2003 Title: "Plans for park a big mistake" (Opinion Piece) Author: Doug Ancona (VP, Friends of Magnuson Park) and Bill Anderson (professor at the University of Washington School of Law) Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion |
"When voters approved the Pro Parks levy in 2000, we voted to add parks, improve and enhance existing parks and preserve wooded green spaces. We said yes to neighborhood parks and green space… we also voted to add playfields throughout the city… We never said yes to replacing 22 acres of park and wetland habitat with synthetic turf…. When voters approved Pro Parks, we approved almost $13 million for the revitalization of Sand Point Magnuson Park. The estimated project cost now exceeds $59 million. We said yes to $13 million for the park -- not to $47 million of deficit spending at a time when park budgets are already tight." |
| Date: July 3, 2003 Title: Parks voters didn't know they'd be lighting the world (6th Letter to Editor) Author: Peggy J. Printz Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion |
"Little did we think, when we voted for the Pro Parks Levy three years ago, that our votes would enable the Department of Parks and Recreation to transform Sand Point Magnuson Park into a mammoth arena for adult sports leagues. The levy promised to ‘create more than 30 new parks in Seattle neighborhoods and to preserve wooded green spaces.’ The reality sounds like a bait and switch. Rather than preserving natural space, this project will destroy it. Vast grassy tracts at Magnuson will yield to artificial turf, inhospitable to the wildlife that now inhabits the park. Animals and people alike will be traumatized by the intense light and late night noise…" |
| Date: June 26, 2003 Title: "Groups see the light on park" (Opinion Piece) Author: Harry Hoffman (president of Seattle Youth Soccer Association) and Peter Lukevich (president of Friends of Athletic Fields) Link: |
A good summary of the arguments used by those in favor of the 11 lighted fields. The Magnuson Park plan will "create a recreation center to be enjoyed by all Seattle residents…" and "playing fields will be only 11 percent of the park's 352 total acres." Arguments include "the majority of voters approved the revitalization of this magnificent public property"; "mitigation of various community concerns has taken place, including reconfiguration of playing-field locations and orientation"; the Park Department has issued a "thorough and detailed environmental impact statement that validates the current plan"; and the fields are necessary to combat an "epidemic of obesity." |
| Date: May 29, 2003 Title: "Wildlife (and quiet life) will be scarce under lights" (4th Letter to the Editor) Author: Francine Rennert Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion |
"The huge scale of this proposed complex… was never part of the original Magnuson Park redevelopment plan. I don't think creating a complex for organized team sports was what voters had in mind when they approved recent parks levies. Instead of open green space and playfields that can be enjoyed by anyone, we would instead be paying extra tax money for synthetic turf fields for the exclusive use of those (primarily adults) willing to pay fees to various athletic leagues." |
| Date: May 26, 2003 Title: "Battle over more playfields goes on, Opponents of Magnuson Park plan get ready to sue" Author: Kathy Mulady (reporter) Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/ |
Summarizes the positions of lighted sports complex supporters and Friends of Magnuson Park. According to the article, "The sports fields have been discussed since the early 1990s. But only in the past two years have details of synthetic fields and lighting become part of the plan." The article quotes Peter Lukevich, president and chief executive of the athletic fields group, as saying "I want future generations to understand that we can recreate passively and actively, and we can do it side by side." Friends of Magnuson Park says "11 synthetic soccer fields over 22 acres, with 600 lights on 80 poles are excessive", that wildlife in the wetlands adjacent to the fields "can't thrive with year-round soccer and rugby tournaments, not to mention acres of lights that will remain on until 10 or 11 p.m", and that light spilling into the surrounding residential areas, including transitional housing for formerly homeless people will degrade quality of life. |
| Date: Sep. 18, 2002 Title: "City services cut while ball fields get the money" (3rd Letter to the Editor) Author: Fletcher G. Shives Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion |
"Mayor Greg Nickels threatens to cut funds from youth service groups because the city faces a $60 million budget shortfall. Is it ironic or just insane that this same mayor and the city's parks department support spending $60 million to construct wetlands and lighted, artificial turf ball fields at Magnuson Park? What a trade-off: Cut the police, fire department and youth services while spending $20 million for excavation of a puddle at Magnuson Park next to Lake Washington and $40 million for 23 acres of lighted artificial turf." |
