North Everett park could get $345,000 upgrade
EVERETT — If approved by the City Council, Drew Nielsen Neighborhood Park could get a $345,000 facelift from the city of Everett.
The project would renovate the playground area of the park, located at Colby Avenue and 13th Street, which has exceeded the city’s life-cycle standard of 15 years, a council summary read. The playground at the park was built in 2007.
The city would spend capital improvement dollars to demolish the existing playground, install new equipment and expand the play area. If approved, the renovation will begin in fall 2025. The project will take about two months to complete, depending on weather, said Cory Rettenmier, golf and park program manager for the city.
The proposed playground could expand by about 500 square feet, according to city designs shared during a January meeting. The park’s existing gazebo and arbor will remain as is.
