Final ADA Transition Plan  

What is the City of Shoreline’s Park Facilities ADA Transition Plan (Plan)?

The City is creating a plan to make its parks easier to use for people with disabilities. This plan will look for things that make it hard for people to access Shoreline’s parks and suggest ways to fix them.

The Plan

Over the past year, we have assessed parks for accessibility barriers, identified solutions and costs, and developed a method to prioritize barrier removal projects. We have also gathered community feedback about how people move around and use Shoreline’s parks. We hosted focus groups, interviews, and an online survey. This feedback helped shape the Plan.

These conversations and comments helped us decide which park updates to do first. To do this, we thought about how often people visit each park, how many visitors have disabilities, and the feedback we received. We also considered if a park offers special features, such as beach access.

The Shoreline City Council will discuss the Plan at their September 22, 2025, City Council meeting. They are scheduled to adopt it at their October 20, 2025, meeting. 

We’ve saved the feedback people shared about all parks and will use it to help with future planning. In the years ahead, there will be more opportunities to share input on future projects through the City’s Capital Improvements Program process.
