Sunnyland Neighborhood Park Acq.
- Status
- Funded in 2004
This proposal is to acquire a neighborhood park in one of Bellingham's older neighborhoods. The Sunnyland neighborhood is centrally located in Bellingham, but lies on the edge of an industrial area. The neighborhood is rebounding from years of decline as young families move into the area, seeking affordable, conveniently located housing. The closest existing parks are located on the other side of busy arterial streets. The identified project site is the last pleasant open site available for a park in the neighborhood. This acquisition will provide a much needed park and stimulate other improvements in an otherwise unserved neighborhood. The City has committed funds to augment the acquisition and the park can be developed in 2002.
Location
From I-5 northbound take Iowa Street exit (NO. 254) and turn left/west at light. Proceed 5 blocks on Iowa Street to Humbolt Steet. Turn right on Humbolt and proceed north 3 1/2 blocks to park site, on right.
