The Woburn Street Site Improvements project (EF171) will improve the former Parks & Recreation Operations site by removing or renovating old buildings, grading the site to a more usable format, adding storage, and improving pedestrian access around the site.
Public Works and Parks & Recreation will have bulk storage facilities on the site, as well as improved nursery space for Parks & Recreation.
Project Status – January 2024
Construction around the site is expected to begin in May 2024 and be completed by December 2024.

The site will include pedestrian improvements, including:
- Sidewalks along the east side of Old Woburn
- Improved sidewalk ramps on the west side of Old Woburn
- Enhanced pedestrian crossing on Woburn Street, connecting the site to Bayview Cemetary & Whatcom Falls Park
Traffic may be stopped or slowed during sidewalk construction. Please obey all signs and flaggers.
The former horse barn and caretaker house will be removed. The historic weathervane and cupola have been removed and will be saved for inclusion in the final renovation.
Artistic elements will be incorporated into the wall facing Old Woburn Street.
