Photographer David Carlos recently captured this bird’s eye overview of construction work at Civic Park in downtown Edmonds at the former Civic Field. Construction began on the nearly eight-acre Civic Field site in August 2021, and the new park is expected to be complete by the end of this year.
The Edmonds City Council in 2017 approved a plan for redesigning Civic Field, with the goal of transforming it into a downtown Edmonds park with range of amenities — among them, upgraded youth athletic fields and sports lighting, an inclusive playground, a walking path, a petanque court grove and a pollinator meadow.
Looking forward to 4th of July fireworks at Civic Park in 2023?
A contractor at the site grumbled about construction ongoing for “a couple more years.” I sure hope he was being sarcastic!
