Project Description
This 6-acre park is located a few blocks north of Padden Parkway, between NE 145th and 149th avenues in the Sifton area. The existing undeveloped park property is surrounded on all sides by homes and features rough trails through both wooded and open lawn areas. There are entrances from NE 149th Street, NE 85th Circle and NE 145th Street.
The name of the park refers to its geographic location near the Tiger Tree housing development. It is a placeholder name used for identification of the site and may be changed before construction starts if neighbors wish.
Once construction is complete in late fall 2009, this park will feature:
- Forested walking and biking trails
- Playground
- Picnic tables
- Benches
- Landscaping
- Garbage cans, bike racks and signage
Public Participation
Major decisions about what the park will look like and what types of features it will have were made during the planning and design process. Project staff relied on public participation to help guide this process. Your input helped us:
- Understand and respond to the needs and concerns of your neighborhood.
- Understand which park features were most important to you and your neighbors.
- Learn about the potential for community fundraising to add features to the park.
The first newsletter and comment form were mailed out in late March 2008. The county then hosted a public meeting in May 2008, and presented several preliminary concept plans to neighbors for input. Input was also collected through the Web page.
An updated proposed concept plan for the park was mailed to neighbors in July 2008 for final review and comments before it was presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission for approval.
In October 2008, neighbors were also invited to provide input about the types of play experiences and equipment they'd like to see in this park. In March 2009, a newsletter detailing plans for removal of 87 Douglas fir trees infected with laminated root rot was sent out to park neighbors.

Project Funding
Design and construction of Tiger Tree 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 by voters in the unincorporated urban area of Clark County in 2005.
