Parks Improvement Projects

Sunset Terrace Park

The City is excited to bring new enhancements to Sunset Terrace Park by improving parking and pedestrian accessibility. The project will pave and widen the existing gravel parking area to allow pedestrians a safe and stable pathway to reach the park. Construction is anticipated to begin October 14, 2024. During construction, the playground is anticipated to remain open; however, the existing parking area and field will be closed. Construction is anticipated to be completed by March of 2025.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this project, you can contact Project Manager Kyle Mauren, 253.460.2531, or City Inspector Chris Johnson, 253.606.9189.
