Park planners will be available at Klineline Pond on Sept. 28 to discuss project plans
VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Works Parks will improve areas within Salmon Creek Regional Park. In 2023, Clark County Parks was awarded a grant from the Washington State legislature to improve the Klineline Pond section of Salmon Creek Regional Park. The Department of Commerce recognized Klineline Pond as a significant community resource due for major improvements.
Staff and consultants have identified and addressed areas of concern and have developed a master plan. Improvements include addressing bridge and parking lot accessibility, and playground and splash pad replacement.
Residents are invited to learn more about the master plan at an open house from 6 to 8 pm on Oct. 9. At the open house, staff will share the master plan during a presentation from 6:30 to 7 pm. Before and after the presentation, residents are invited to review and discuss the plan with staff. Light refreshments will be provided.
Residents can attend in person or online. The in-person open house will be at Salmon Creek Elementary School, 1601 NE 129th St. The presentation portion of the open house will also be streamed online. A meeting link is available on the project webpage. While registration is not required to attend online, anyone can use the registration link on the webpage to receive an email with the meeting link 15 minutes before the open house.
Parks planners will be at Klineline Pond on Sept. 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to give park visitors the first look at the conceptual plans.
Meeting interpretation, additional translation and other accommodations can be requested by contacting Michael Chau, project manager, at michael.chau@clark.wa.gov or (564) 397-5886.
