A New Park in Felida

One of the great things about living in Felida is the commitment that the county has made to the neighborhood. There are public parks throughout the neighborhood and new ones popping up all the time.

The newest park in Felida is the Sgt. Brad Crawford Neighborhood Park at the corner of NW 131^st street and NW 47^th Avenue.  This beautiful park has been in the planning stages since April 2006 and is finally reaching completion. Here is the latest report from the county parks commission:
August 13, 2008 Status Report:The contractor has finished planting all the remaining trees and plants, with the exception of the large sea grass planter in the entrance plaza. The entire park has also been hydro-seeded for grass. The ocean-washed concrete entry plaza has been poured. Remaining work includes finishing up the picnic tables, installing fencing along the back of the park, topping off the wood chips in the playground, finishing up the entry plaza, and installing remaining bollards, signs and garbage cans. Five additional benches that were paid for thanks to neighborhood fundraising efforts will also be installed soon. As part of a separate traffic safety project, Clark County Public Works also began installing a pedestrian safety island at the intersection of NW 131st Street and 47th Avenue this week.

By reading the report, it looks like they are well ahead of their timeline of October. At least my kids think so. They have been playing at the park for the last few weeks! Thank you to the folks at Clark County Planning for a job well done! Here is a shot of the park today:

One of the nice things about the development of this park is the fact that the county solicited input from the local residents. There were several meetings with residents and the neighborhood association in which everyone could participate in designing the new park. It was a perfect example of the county working together with the community to build something that will be beneficial for the neighborhood.
