Project background:

In 1999, Clark County and the City of Vancouver jointly purchased a 38.67-acre area at 12603 NE 72nd Ave. The purpose was to establish a Vancouver fire station on around five acres and a county park on the remaining 33 acres. Of those 33 acres, 16.18 acres will be used for park development and the remaining 16.82 acres will remain in its natural state.

In 2005, voters approved the Metropolitan Parks District Levy for dedicated funding to construct 35 new parks. A number of sports fields and new trails were also included in the tax levy.
