Open House - China Creek South Park Proposed Improvements

June 6, 2005 (No. 47) - The public is invited to attend an Open House to view three options for improving China Creek South Park, which is located near the corner of Broadway and Clark Drive. Those attending will be asked to share their preferences by filling out a questionnaire.

The three proposals are the result of an ongoing public consultation process that has taken place over the past four months. This is the sixth session that has been held for the public to share their ideas for upgrades to the park. Some of the topics have included locations for a children's playground; entry points into the park; additional pathways; improvements to the bike path through the park; options for the skateboard facility; a community garden and the Nanook Daycare.
