Other portions of the park may be available for weddings and other events with an approved special use permit. Air-inflated “bounce houses” are allowed with approved special use permits, but dunk tanks are not.

For more information, visit our webpage about shelter reservations, sports fields scheduling and special use permits.

The splash pad is automated to turn on between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on days where the forecasted high temperature is 80 degrees or higher. The water cycles through the splash pad's spray features as timed zones. 

Klineline Pond at Salmon Creek Regional Park includes a designated swim beach. 

• There are no lifeguards on duty. 
• As with water recreation in all county parks, visitors are responsible for ensuring their safety and the safety of minor children in their care. 

To safely enjoy water recreation this summer, visitors should:

• Wear a life jacket. Children, teens and adults should wear life jackets while boating, using personal watercraft, inner tubing or using other water sports equipment. Life jackets should be worn while swimming in lakes and rivers. Make sure the life jacket fits properly. Inner tubes, air mattresses and other floatation devices are not a substitute for a well-fitting life jacket.
• Closely supervise children. Children should be supervised by adults at all times they’re in or around water. Supervision requires complete attention, even if another adult is present. Avoid distractions when kids are swimming or around water.
• Do not use any substance, including alcohol and cannabis, that could impair your ability to swim, respond to or be aware of your surroundings.
• Never dive into shallow water or off bridges, cliffs or ledges.
• Never swim alone.
• Avoid fast-flowing waters.

Safe Kids Clark County provides life jackets for visitors to borrow at Klineline Pond (Salmon Creek Regional Park). Availability of life jackets to borrow at these locations cannot be guaranteed. Visitors who are planning to enter the water are encouraged to bring a life jacket with them.

This urban greenway runs along Salmon Creek between Lake River in Felida and Salmon Creek Regional Park/Klineline Pond in Hazel Dell. It includes bottomlands, wetlands and forested hillsides on both sides of Salmon Creek and the north end of Cougar Creek.

Despite the urban setting, the greenway is extensively used by wildlife, including migratory waterfowl and other birds, deer, coyotes, rabbits, opossums, raccoons and beavers.

A 3-mile-long paved trail extends through a portion of the greenway between Salmon Creek Regional Park/Klineline Pond and Northwest 36th Avenue in Felida. The trail is relatively flat, except for a slope up to Northwest 36th Avenue.

Besides the trailhead in Salmon Creek Regional Park, the trail can also be accessed at the parking lot near the Vancouver Girls Softball Association's fields (restrooms at this location) off of Northeast Hazel Dell Avenue. Access to Cougar Creek Trail is available near the midpoint of the Salmon Creek trail. Look for the stairs up the hill, past the picnic table.

Habitat restoration efforts along Salmon Creek are coordinated through a partnership with the Clark Public Utilities. More information is available on Clark Public Utilities StreamTeam's website.
