Clark Regional Wastewater District has completed clean-up activities in the area, and the trail and ballfields are safe for visitors to use
VANCOUVER – Clark County has reopened the Vancouver Girls Softball Association fields on the Salmon Creek Greenway and the greenway trail that were closed earlier this week due to a water line break that caused a sewer line to overflow in the area.
Clark County Public Works, Clark Public Utilities, Clark Regional Wastewater District and Clark County Public Health worked quickly to address the situation and take appropriate measures to reopen the facilities.
Clark Regional Wastewater District has completed clean-up activities in the area, and the trail and ballfields are safe for visitors to use. The main entrance to the Salmon Creek ballfields remains closed as Clark Public Utilities continues to repair the water main. While the water main is under construction, portable toilets are available near the ballfields.
Access to the Salmon Creek Greenway and the ballfields is by foot traffic only at this time. Parking is available at the main entrance to Salmon Creek Regional Park/Klineline Pond. A parking fee is required for this parking lot. Learn more about Regional Parks parking fees at https://clark.wa.gov/public-works/parking-fees.
