Town Center: Heritage Park Master Plan & Alley Activation
Thank you to those that came to the April 25th Open House to get an update on the preferred plan. The images are available in the "Photos" section on the right hand side of this page.
In 2021, the City of Sumner adopted the Main Street Visioning Plan. This plan captured the community's vision that included woonerfs around Heritage Park (currently under construction), identified the acquisition of 902 Kincaid as a priority and encouraged activating the alleys. The vision was to create an amazing downtown Sumner where family and friends come together for food, drinks, shopping and community events.

The vision was to create an amazing downtown Sumner where family and friends come together for food, drinks, shopping and community events.
The city purchased 902 Kincaid in July of 2022 allowing the entire block to be redeveloped to better suit the needs of the community and events. That September, Sumner contracted with JETT Landscape Architecture + Design to assist in creating a master plan for Heritage Park, and to activate alleyways and parking areas. Staff began working with the team from JETT and the community to gather ideas, discuss concepts and talk through any concerns. Through this process we were able to narrow down the conceptual layouts to a preferred plan.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out this survey. Heritage Park is the heart of our community, and we would like your help to design a space that meets the needs and values of the community. Keep in mind this survey asks you questions about how to reimagine what has been known as Heritage Park along with the addition of our recent purchase of 902 Kincaid, the former “post office” building on the same block. The survey also asks questions about the alley that connects Kincaid to Alder Avenues just south of Main St.

CLOSED: This survey has concluded.
The first phase of the Heritage Park Master Plan & Alley Activation project engaged the community to collect ideas and preferences regarding what is currently loved and well used in the vicinity of the project as well as what problems and concerns may exist regarding the project. The preferences for events and programming, amenities, character and aesthetic, wayfinding and storytelling have led to two alternatives for Heritage Park. Please take a few minutes to get familiar with each alternative in the "Documents" section of the main page before taking this survey.
