Irreparable damage to the former Pondview shelter from a winter storm required demolition of the structure
VANCOUVER – A new picnic shelter will be constructed in the Klineline Pond area of Salmon Creek Regional Park, beginning in January. Irreparable damage to the former Pondview shelter from a winter storm required demolition of the structure, and a new structure will be built in its place. Construction of the new shelter should be complete by spring 2024.
During construction, the Klineline Pond area of the park will remain open. However, areas near the construction site, including the walking path, may be closed to the public. Access to the existing Creekside picnic shelter will remain open. Additionally, the bridge to the Klineline Pond area of the park will close for a half day during the project, to allow the contractor to move materials to the project site. The closure is expected sometime in the second week of January. The exact closure date is to be determined based on delivery of materials. The date of closure will be posted on signage at the park and on the Public Works website as soon as it is known. Visitors are reminded to be alert for construction traffic and never enter areas closed off by barricades, signs, cones, tape or other barriers.
Updates to the construction timeline and impacts will be posted on Public Works’ social media profiles, and at clark.wa.gov/public-works.
