Reinvesting in Cook Park
Many of the parks features are due for an upgrade. We are currently working to maximize the recreation value of the park, as recommended in the city's draft Parks & Recreation Master Plan. Revitalizing Cook Park is also important for reaching the city’s goals for equity, walkability, accessibility and more.
Upcoming Project
Accessible Boat Ramp
- Project Need: The existing boat ramp and boarding dock was rebuilt in 1997 following the 1996 floods. The boarding docks have aged well beyond useful life and are in need of replacement. There is also a demand for a handicap accessible small craft boat launch.
Project Description: This project will replace the obsolete wooden boarding docks with new technology using recycled plastic materials. The new docks will also incorporate a handicap accessible boat launch. Design, engineering, and permitting will be required before construction and installation with some requirement for sediment removal.
Project Funding: The project budget includes assumption of receipt of Marine Board grant.
Completed Project
Tot Lot
- Located on the east side of the park, the tot lot is designed for ages 2-5. Enjoy!
