Does Jackson Park Golf Course make money for the city? No, Jackson Park Golf Course is not revenue positive for Seattle and losses are projected to continue to accelerate.
In 2017, Seattle commissioned the Lund golf report, Strategic Business Plan for the Future of City of Seattle Owned Municipal Golf Courses". The report projects that the 4 Seattle public golf courses will incur losses between $4 million - $8 million for the city between the years 2017-2027 (pg 6-7).
Demand #1: Rename the park. Andrew Jackson: Slaveowner and genocidal tyrant. Eliminate monuments to white supremacy. A better name for a better park. Demand #2: Add Accessible Pathways. The meager Perimeter Trail is wheelchair inaccessible, claustrophobic, and unpleasant. Demand #2: Add Accessible Pathways. Allow many more people to walk, roll, and bike to both stations. Demand #3: Free Public Green Space. Fix the Northeast Seattle Park Desert. Park Equity. We want more than golf.
