Using public input from fall 2019 and spring 2020, we’ve developed a preferred design for the first phase of improvements. For a closer look at the preferred design, check out these other resources:
We’re excited to build all of these planned outdoor improvements, but due to funding limitations, we won’t be able to build this project all at once. We expect Phase 1 to be constructed in 2022 and 2023. The first phase is expected to include:
- The park entry plaza
- A central park core
- A community event lawn
- Synthetic turf ballfields
- A connection to the future Parkland Community Trail, which is another Pierce County Parks project,
- And renovations to the parking lot
The remaining improvements, including the 4-field complex in the northwest corner, will be constructed in a future phase, once we’ve secured the required funding.
The construction budget for the Phase 1 improvements is approximately ten million dollars. These funds are comprised of Parks Impact Fees, State Recreation Grants, Real Estate Excise Tax, and Parks Sales Tax.
