Vancouver, Wash. – Clark County Public Works Parks and Lands is seeking public comment on the Parks Capital Improvement Plan. The proposed six-year plan includes preventative maintenance projects, major maintenance projects and recreation enhancements at existing parks, and development of new parks. Projects in the plan address needs identified in the 2022 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, which was created with input from the community and adopted by the Clark County Council in April 2022.
New projects and programs in the proposed Parks Capital Improvement Plan include:
A bridge, pier and boat launch preservation program.
Recreation and access enhancements at Salmon Creek Regional Park.
Neighborhood park planning, design and development of Mount Vista property.
Pleasant Valley Community Park design and phase II development.
Community park design and development of property known as Cougar Creek Woods.
78th Street Heritage Farm public access improvements.
At their Sept. 12 meeting, the Parks Advisory Board will review the plan and public comments received. Upon the board’s recommendation, staff will present the plan to Clark County Council for final approval. Projects in the Parks Capital Improvement Plan are funded by available funds from park impact fees, real estate excise taxes and the county general fund.
Residents are invited to review the plan and submit comments. The proposed plan is available at clark.wa.gov/public-works/park-projects-and-funding. Comments about the plan can be submitted to pwparksprojects@clark.wa.gov. Comments must be received by Sept. 30.
Residents can also submit comments at the Parks Advisory Board meeting at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 12 in the Bud Van Cleve Community Room at the Luke Jensen Sports Park, 4000 NE 78th St. Instructions and a meeting link for attending virtually via Microsoft Teams will be available at clark.wa.gov/public-works/parks-advisory-board by Sept. 1.
