Zintel Canyon Greenway (7th - Anderson)
- Status
- Funded in 2003
This project continues development of Kennewick's lineal park in Zintel Canyon. Initial construction will include 1,900 linear feet of a hard surfaced eight-foot wide walking, jogging, leisure-cycling and nature trail. The trail is located along Zintel Canyon, a ravine in the heart of the city. Irrigation water that runs down the canyon six months of the year has created a unique wetland in this arid climate. The walkway will open the canyon up for all to enjoy this beautiful, natural area. The ultimate plan is for expansion of the trail to 1.5 miles, with landscaped areas at each end with picnic sites and trailhead signs. The present proposal includes construction of the trail, picnic sites, a playground, parking, and other park amenities. A local volunteer group has signed a license agreement to adopt the canyon for development and maintenance. Over the last five years the volunteers have donated about 1,000 hours of labor annually. They have committed to help with this project by building a picnic shelter.
Location
SR-395 (North) to W. 7th Ave. East on 7th. The trailhead is in the southwest corner of West 7th Avenue & South Vancouver Street. The trail extends south down the canyon to South Anderson Street & on to West 15th Avenue.
