Parkland Trail Near Completion

The Parkland Community Trail is almost done—connecting Sprinker Recreation Center to Pacific Lutheran University—with the final stretch set to wrap up by summer’s end. After paving the first phase in March and installing a new pedestrian bridge over Clover Creek, crews are now tackling the last leg from 135th Street South to PLU. The 1.8-mile trail will reopen the Parkland Prairie and feature safety upgrades like flashing beacons at busy intersections, especially Tule Lake Road. Funded by grants at $2.9 million for construction and $800K for design, the trail also includes public art and a free tree program for nearby residents to replace lost vegetation. Locals like Michelle Garrett are thrilled for a safer, scenic walk right in their neighborhood. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
