Evergreen Park Expansion/Shoreline Rest.
Description:
The Evergreen Park Expansion and Shoreline Restoration Project includes the final development phase to complete the Evergreen Park/Evergreen-Rotary Park complex, restoration of the shoreline and creation of a beach area for access the shoreline. This park complex is the City of Bremerton's premier park with the highest use rates, notwithstanding athletic fields, and serves as a regional destination. The park is used year round for all manner of events, festivals and recreation; including picnicking, walks along the trails, boating, and beautiful water views. The Park is bordered to the north and west by residential neighborhoods and small businesses that have seen significant revitalization in the recent past. The City has recently acquired the Chevron property that borders the park, and is in the process of acquiring the adjacent Plumber's and Steamfitters Union Property using IAC grant funds. Integration of both sites into the park will remove the final blighted property in this area. This project will expand the park by 1.56 acres, completing park development, providing opportunities for recreation in a beautiful waterfront setting, and serving as a primary connection for the planned boardwalk trail. In addition it will restore 700 feet of shoreline, create a beach area to provide much-needed beach and water access, and develop additional parking to relieve the pressure on existing parking lots and adjacent streets.
