Embracing Our Future
South Park has a strong history of community action, starting with our very first South Park Improvement Clubs. When our neighborhood is in need, we work together to form a plan of action.
In 1998 we drafted the South Park Residential Urban Village Plan, which defined our goals for Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan: Toward a Sustainable Seattle. The South Park Action Agenda (SPAA) was drafted in 2006 when, following the shooting of a 16-year-old boy, the City of Seattle convened a group of community and business leaders, service providers, and residents to launch a planning effort.
Our efforts in 2006 generated the SPAA: a coordinated document that prioritizes strong and healthy families, a thriving business district, and a safe, environmentally friendly and visually attractive community, while preserving a strong sense of community identity and respect for neighborhood diversity.
