Overview & History

In May 2006, Shoreline voters approved a bond issue to acquire park property and improve parks throughout the community. One element of the bond was to make recreational improvements to Cromwell Park. In addition, the Surface Water Utility needed to make improvements to the storm system in the area surrounding the park. Jointly funded by both the Parks Bond Levy and the Surface Water Utility, this project will create much needed recreational and storm water improvements. Storm water improvements will include creating storm water detention, water quality treatment, and wetland areas in the park. Recreational improvements will include installing an irrigated sports field, walking paths/trails, play equipment, natural area enhancements, signage, landscaping, picnic facilities, benches and drinking fountains.

Cromwell Park is located in the central portion of the City of Shoreline in the Meridian Park neighborhood.  The park is composed of two separate parcels.  The northern portion is a large, open area. The ball field, drainage and turf is in poor condition.  The southern portion is a small, heavily wooded area lacking significant development.  The neighborhood surrounding the park consists primarily of single-family homes.  The King County District Court building is located on the northwest boundary of the park.
