Meadowdale Park is located in Lynnwood’s north Meadowdale neighborhood. Much of the park has been preserved as forested open space and wildlife habitat. The park was developed in 2002, utilizing environmental conservation measures to preserve the natural beauty of the site. Second growth tree stands were protected, native plantings replaced invasive species to enhance wildlife habitat, indigenous boulders and timbers were preserved in the landscape and also in construction of the restroom building and the public art.
History
The park property was purchased in 1998 from Frances and Denis Murphy. The Murphys were dedicated to protecting the environment of Lund’s Gulch and preserving open space in Lynnwood. They sold their property to provide a park for the Meadowdale neighborhood, and to protect the natural habitat of the property.
Future development plans include the addition of picnic shelters and expansion of the parking lot.
