Since, most of the park is dominated by a steep-walled,
narrow ravine created by Ravenna Creek. A restoration project is focused on a
portion of a larger ravine restoration effort coordinated by the City of
Seattle, the Green Seattle partnership, and the surrounding community. These
teams of volunteers replace invasive plant species with a native plant
assemblage that will control erosion and initiate succession to a mature
wetland forest community.
Another non-profit community base organization known as
Ravenna Creek Alliance works in restoring Ravenna Creek to its former drainage.
Right now, the creek drains to a Metro sewer trunkline and this organization’s
goal to rain $300,000 needed to reconnect the creek to its former receiving
water in Union Bay
