This is a combined acquisition and development project for 'Rotary Point', Phase 2 of West Bay Park. Olympia's Comprehensive Plan identifies this property as essential for community waterfront recreation needs. Extensive public involvement has resulted in a clear vision of how the park is to be developed. Jutting into Budd Inlet, 'Rotary Point' will create a stage for viewing the beautiful State Capitol building, waterfowl, marine mammals and fish. Beneficiaries will be Olympia residents and regional and international visitors to the Capitol city. Phase 2 will acquire 1.07 acres of waterfront and develop a panoramic viewpoint, seating areas, handheld boat launch, strolling paths, a segment of the West Bay Trail, landscaping and other improvements. A small cove with shallow bank is a prime site for water access for canoes, kayaks and other hand launched small boats. It will serve paddlers traversing Puget Sound and may function as the southern-most put-in on the Cascadia Marine Trail. For Phase 2, local Rotary Clubs are donating design and development costs. This prime waterfront property will be developed for commercial purposes if it is not acquired for public shoreline access. Olympia's goal is to eventually acquire a total of 16.8 acres for West Bay Park and to link the park via the West Bay Trail with the State Capitol Campus, Olympia Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.
