Status
Funded in 2005
WWRP Applicant: Vancouver Parks & Rec Dept WWRP Category: Local Parks WWRP Grant: $297,090 Applicant Match: $297,090 Project Type: Acquisition County: Clark  Legislative District: 17th 

This 120-acre acquisition in Clark County will create a community park at the northeast corner of Vancouver's urban growth boundary. Approximately 25,000 people live in the rapidly growing service area with no community park facilities. Because of the high need, both Vancouver and Clark County have identified Hockinson Park as the highest priority community park acquisition project in the entire Vancouver urban area. The property provides an excellent setting for community park improvements. The site includes open meadows and pasture, and large stands of mixed mature forest that include Douglas fir, cedar, oak, maple, and alder. Future improvements will include hiking and biking trails, sports fields, open play meadows, picnic tables and shelters, parking, restrooms, and other support facilities.
