Cherry Neighborhood Park Starts Construction on February 5

Construction will begin at Cherry Neighborhood Park on Monday, February 5, 2007.  Construction will be completed by Clark County Public Works.  This is the seventh neighborhood park to be developed as part of the Greater Clark Parks District approved by voters in 2005.

 

Cherry Neighborhood Park is located on N.E. 101st Way between 145th and 146th Avenues, just north of 99th Street in the Brush Prairie area.  Once construction is complete, this new three-acre neighborhood park will feature:

  • Asphalt & concrete trails.

  • Playground.

  • Basketball half court.

  • Picnic table.

  • Benches.

  • Irrigated open lawn play area.

  • Additional trees & other landscaping.

During construction, Clark County crews and subcontractors will work between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. Occasional weekend work may also occur if necessary. Many work activities are weather dependent, and construction will not occur during heavy rain or snow. Weather permitting, this project is scheduled to be complete in July 2007.

 

Throughout construction, the park will be an active work site and will be closed to the public to prevent accidents and injuries. Additional construction impacts include:

  • Occasional traffic delays & short-term driveway obstructions on 101st Way near 146th Avenue to allow construction equipment to enter & exit the work site.

  • Noise from back-up alarms, heavy equipment & other activities associated with construction work.

  • Vibration from asphalt rollers & fresh asphalt smells during trail paving.

  • Dirt on roads due to construction traffic.

Design and construction of Cherry Neighborhood Park is being funded by park impact fees, which are paid whenever a new residential property is developed, and the real estate excise tax, which is paid whenever property is sold. Maintenance of the park will be funded by the Greater Clark Parks District, a special district approved and funded by voters in the unincorporated urban area of Clark County in 2005.
