Grand Opening Celebration

Thank you for joining us at the Grand Opening Celebration!

The celebration included demonstrations by Vancouver West Soccer and the Clark County Rugby Club, activities by Vancouver Fire, a bird walk hosted by the Vancouver Audubon, and speeches from Rep. Stephanie McClintock, Sen. Adrian Cortes, and Clark County Council Chair Sue Marshall. The speakers recognized those in attendance who made the park a reality, including the Curtin family who owned the land before it was purchased by the City of Vancouver in 1999, the construction contractor, consulting engineer, Public Works project managers, and former and present members of parks advisory groups. The ribbon was cut by Chair Marshall.

Project background:

In 1999, Clark County and the City of Vancouver jointly purchased a 38.67-acre area at 12603 NE 72nd Ave. The purpose was to establish a Vancouver fire station on around five acres and a county park on the remaining 33 acres. Of those 33 acres, 16.18 acres will be used for park development and the remaining 16.82 acres will remain in its natural state.

In 2005, voters approved the Metropolitan Parks District Levy for dedicated funding to construct 35 new parks. A number of sports fields and new trails were also included in the tax levy.
