3/22/21 @ 8:10 p.m. – In early March, two public outreach sessions were held regarding the conceptual plan for the Westside Regional Park. The first was a virtual meeting held on Monday, March 1st. The presentation used for the virtual meeting was also used for the in-person meeting held on Thursday, March 4th.

Approximately 30 people were in attendance at the in-person meeting and several expressed their thoughts on amenities they would like to see included in the park. The County’s consultant, Prosser, Inc., also provided the results of a recent survey in which citizens were given an opportunity to share their opinions about the possible amenities and the overall appearance of the park. The results of the survey were shared county-wide and then broken down further by zip codes and age groups.

Top priorities identified included:

• Multi-purpose fields
• Concession and restrooms
• Swimming pool/aquatic center
• Walking trails
• Nature areas/nature parks
• Large community park
• Indoor fitness center
• Community gardens
• Senior center
• Community spaces for rentals or special events
• and more!

To view the presentation, please see the You Tube video link.
