Sunset Park Improvement Project

The design team completed and submitted the 50% construction document set for review by the City and SEMSWA. The City approved the drawings; however, SEMSWA requested additional information. The design team has since resubmitted the drawings and continues to advance the construction documents.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the playground selection survey. The results are in, and Option 1A - Cool Sunset was the preferred choice with 21 out of 28 votes. Please see the results below, along with a conceptual image of the proposed playground. Please note that the final playground design may differ slightly from the concept shown.

South Suburban is planning updates for Sunset Park!

Based on community feedback from the online public input survey (December 29, 2025 – January 16, 2026) and the in-person public meeting held at the park shelter on January06, 2026, the community expressed a preference for a modern/ traditional playground theme with climbing elements.

Please note that overhead power line height restrictions may influence the final design of certain elements. Also, the only difference between playground options A and B is color.

Community members are invited to share their input through this online survey from March 05 - March 19, 2026.
