The project is the acquisition of 72 acres of land for a community park in southeast Puyallup. The site when developed, will have multi-use athletic fields, play equipment and all supporting facilities. The final phase of the Riverwalk Trail will also be constructed on the land providing a connection from and to this park. This acquisition will meet an identified deficiency in our Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan by providing a park in this section of Puyallup, and the connection to Pierce County's trail system. This project is important as this is the last available land in the Puyallup Valley that will accommodate a community park. The proximity to Puyallup's Riverwalk Trail is also a major factor in the importance of acquiring the land. The pressures of commercial/residential development are severe in this area. New houses and warehouses are being built in the area. Puyallup needs to preserve this land for current and future generations.
