In 2009, Seattle Public Utilities starts the process of converting the open MAple Leaf reservoir into a pair of underground water storage tanks. When they are done, the tanks will be buried and a brand new park will be created on top of the tanks. When combined with the adjacent existing Maple Leaf Park, the total park area will be 39 acres. This committee started working on fundraising, outreach, and park design in 2007. For more information on the process, click here to sign up for the UMLP email list.

In 2006, without any advance warning to the Maple Leaf Community Council, Camp Fire Puget Sound put historic Waldo Hospital up for sale. After turning down bidders who would have saved the grove of trees, they chose a developer who plans to not only demolish the structurally sound hospital building, but leave only 36 of the 108 trees and prominent shrubs on the site. Since learning of the proposed sale, this committee has been working to try to positively affect planned development at this site. Click here to learn more about this effort.
