Camas city officials gave the public a glimpse of Crown Park’s possible future this week.
Camas Parks and Recreation Manager Jerry Acheson presented the department’s master plan for the project at the city council’s workshop on Monday, Nov. 5.
The plan details cost estimates, as well as the layout of the renovated park, located at Northeast 15th Avenue and Everett Street. Plans include a water feature, amphitheater, multi-purpose sports courts and ADA pathways.
Gill Williams, of Greenworks, PC, the firm consulting with the city on developing the park’s master plan, assisted Acheson with the presentation, and detailed other features of the final plan, including a playground expansion and enhanced landscaping.
The total cost of the project is estimated at nearly $5.6 million.
Camas-Washougal residents have been vocal about the Crown Park improvements over the past year, after learning that city leaders planned to shut down the park’s outdoor swimming pool — the only public, outdoor swimming pool in Clark County — and replace it with a possible spray park for younger children.
