Public Participation
Major decisions about what the park looks like and the types of features it has in it 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 about the project 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 this 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 wanted 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. In June 2009, a letter announcing the start of construction was sent out to park neighbors.

Project Funding
Design and construction of Tiger Tree Neighborhood Park was paid for with 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 is being funded by the Greater Clark Parks District, a special district approved by voters in the unincorporated urban area of Clark County in 2005.
