Haagen Park
- Status
- Funded in 2003
This project in Clark County involves constructing and improving a 29.5-acre community park in a heavily developed residential area one mile east of the I-205 corridor in Vancouver. The service area includes seven neighborhoods and over 18,000 people. Haagen is the only community park in the service area and provides the only opportunity for a park of this size due to the level of development in the surrounding neighborhoods. In 2000, the city of Vancouver started park development by installing play equipment, three picnic tables, and a small playfield on 4.5 acres at the northwest corner of the project site. The remaining twenty-five acres include a mix of meadows and Douglas fir forest that are ideally suited to community park facilities. The planned improvements include sports fields, hiking and biking trails, play equipment, picnic tables, restrooms, parking, signing, and lighting. The project is located two blocks north of property dedicated for a community center that will include a swimming pool, library, police substation, and other complementary facilities. The city will provide eighty-six percent of the total park project cost.
