Project Overview

Marine Park Master Planning 2023: The Parks & Recreation Department is working with Coffman Engineers, Jim Brennan Associates, and PND Engineers to develop a Master Plan for Marine Park.

The planning effort began in early 2023 with an online public survey, which received over 1,000 responses. The first public meeting was held on April 27, 2023, and began in Marine Park with games and open discussion before moving to the Baranof Hotel for a slideshow presentation and additional opportunities for public input. The survey and slideshow from that meeting are posted below.

Community feedback from the survey and April meeting helped shape several concept alternatives for the park. These alternatives were shared at a second public meeting on May 24, 2023. Based on the input received, the design team finalized a Master Plan. Design development is scheduled for fall through winter, with construction planned for 2024–2025.

Spring 2025 Update: Work on the park design has been progressing. Final 100% construction drawings were completed at the end of 2024. Bid documents are expected to be released in July 2025, with construction starting in fall 2025. Construction is anticipated to continue through the end of 2026.
