Older play equipment located in several areas of the park no longer meets current safety standards
VANCOUVER – The Parks and Nature division of Clark County Public Works is removing some of the play equipment at Lewisville Regional Park. Older play equipment located in several areas of the park no longer meets current safety standards. Play equipment near the beach area south of the softball fields and equipment near the Alder shelter will not be removed.
Later this year, Parks and Nature will begin a process to update the park plan for Lewisville Regional Park. This process will identify a location for a new play area. Opportunities for input on the park plan update will be announced at a later date.
Removal of the older play equipment is scheduled to begin in late June and is expected to be completed by early July. Visitors may encounter short traffic delays and construction noise during the removal process. Visitors are reminded to stay out of work zones. Work is weather-dependent, and the schedule is subject to change. For more information, contact Park and Trails Planner Lynde Wallick at lynde.wallick@clark.wa.gov or 564.397.5882.
