With this project, the City of Kent proposes the acquisition of 2.68 acres of gently sloping pasture land for future development into a neighborhood park. The project area was annexed into Kent in April 1993. The proposed site is situated in a densely populated neighborhood. With the exception of an elementary school playground, the neighborhood lacks any park areas. The new site will provide a small park, and also offers views of the Green River Valley and Olympic Mountains. There is tremendous support for the acquisition and development of a park to serve this neighborhood. In 1996, several community meetings and two public hearings were held to determine the type of park the citizens wanted. Three additional meetings and two public hearings were held in 1999 to finalize the master plan for this property. Future development may include a picnic shelter/restroom, parking, play equipment, tennis and sports courts, walking trails, parking, landscaping, and open space lawn areas.
