Seattle Parks and Recreation is holding its next meeting on planned upgrades to Capitol Hill’s Miller Park this weekend:

Seattle Parks and Recreation invites neighbors, families, kids and all community members to help shape the future of the Miller Playfield Play Area. Join us on Saturday, January 31st, 2026, from 11 AM – 2 pm at Miller Community Center (330 19th Ave E) to meet the project team and share your input on the play area concept designs.

CHS reported here on the $2 million, King County Parks Levy-funded renovation project of the Miller Park playground next to the Miller Community Center, the Meany Middle School campus, and the Miller Annex Preschool Center.

The $1,906,093 project will replace play equipment, install play area grass safety surfacing and make accessibility improvements for the play area adjacent to the Miller Community Center.

The equipment will include play structures and seating for children of all abilities ages 2 to 12. Seattle Parks and Recreation says it is working with Inclusion Matters to design the project on the combined recreation and education campus just off 19th Ave E.

It’s a long process to complete the work. Construction isn’t planned to start until the spring of 2027.
