West Valley Community Park, Phase 2
- Status
- Funded in 1999
Yakima County is requesting assistance for the second phase of a project to develop part of its 26.2 acre West Valley Community Park. This project will directly benefit existing and new neighborhoods in the area and a new middle school which opened in the fall of 1996. This is the only park site located in the fast-growing unincorporated West Valley portion of Yakima County. The project includes a multipurpose hard court for basketball, in-line roller hockey and ice skating, a picnic plaza, group shelters, restrooms, sand volleyball court, horseshoe pits, soccer field, playground equipment, natural and hard surface trails, pedestrian bridge, drinking fountain, irrigation, picnic tables and parking. Enthusiastic community support is illustrated by donations which reduced the grant request by nearly $50,000, including a $100,000 cash contribution, donations from the West Valley Lions Club, and others.
Location
Take exit 34 off I-82 and proceed west on Nob Hill Boulevard for 5.8 miles. Turn left on 80th Avenue and proceed south 0.3 mile. The park site is located to the east of 80th Avenue, just south of Wide Hollow Creek. This development area is adjacent to and directly west of the existing West Valley Community Park on 75th Avenue.
