Anchor Parks: Master Planning

Overview

Issaquah is embarking on an effort to reinvest, reimagine, enhance and diversify three of our anchor parks:

• Tibbets Valley Park
• Veterans Memorial Park
• The Creek Corridor (as a primary north-south system connecting many of Issaquah's existing parks and trails)

The design process for these parks is just beginning, and it includes you! Your perspective, experiences and observations will inform how these parks can serve our community for decades to come.

Background

In July 2018, the City adopted the Parks Strategic Plan. One of the plan's core themes – placemaking – was informed by the community's desire to enhance, improve and better connect our existing park spaces. 

Self-Guided Tour

We invite you to participate in a self-guided tour of the Creek Corridor! Download and print this map, and bring it along as you explore the public access opportunities along the Issaquah valley floor.

You can return your comments by:
