What Was the Magnuson Park Concept Plan?
The Magnuson Park Concept Plan provided guidance for Magnuson Park design. It included a Concept Plan Map and the 1997 Physical Development Management Plan for Sand Point as amended by Council Resolution No. 30063. The final plan was prepared by Mayor Paul Schell’s Blue Ribbon Committee appointed in June 1998, and was the result of months of work city staff and the design team lead by Jones & Jones Architects and Landscape Architects. The Blue Ribbon Committee was charged with conducting a comprehensive review and assessment of the Sand Point Magnuson Park peninsula, including planning, operations, management and financing elements. The Blue Ribbon Committee’s recommendations were considered by the Council in September and adopted on November 1, 1999.
