Park Donations

Donating funds to a park is a wonderful way to show appreciation for Kirkland, to honor someone special, or to commemorate a milestone. Park benches and tables are the most popular items to donate, however other donations are possible as well, like those for trees or landscape, for general park maintenance, towards public art or other site amenities (i.e. water fountains), and even towards the tools and equipment needed to keep Kirkland’s parks beautiful.

Playground Replacement

The Everest Park playground was installed in 2001 and is one of the oldest and smallest playgrounds in our community parks at 3,850 square feet. In 2025, we are replacing and expanding it to 6,000 square feet to include more accessible and diverse play features, ensuring it meets the needs of all visitors.

The playground will be unavailable from April until the end of June. The new playground is expected to open by early July.
