Park UpdatesCovington Community Park Phase 2Construction of CCP Phase 2 is on track as we expand this community’s inspiring athletic complex and recreation areas. You may have noticed a lot of earthwork and equipment onsite. These are all signs that the project is progressing on schedule. Curbs, sidewalks, wetland, bioretention cells, trails, paths, buildings, shelters and parking spaces are many of the amenities you will see taking shape. A ribbon cutting and grand opening of the expanded park is planned for late summer 2018. If you have any questions about the park please contact Parks Project Manager, Mary Gardocki at (253) 480-2488.

Jenkins Creek Park – Master PlanOver the past year the city has completed a master planning effort for Jenkins Creek Park that will shape the park’s future. The planning effort has included three public workshops, engagement with stakeholder groups and multiple reviews by the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission. The proposed plan is scheduled to be presented to City Council on February 27 and

adoption of a final plan is scheduled for the March 13 city council meeting. Learn more about the Jenkins Creek Park Master Plan online at www.covingtonwa.gov/parks/JCP.
