Sunset Beach Park was transferred to the City from Snohomish County in August 2021.  After an initial assessment of the site was completed, the City hired a consultant to develop a draft design taking into consideration existing site features.  

Based on the City’s adopted level of service and identified site concerns, certain elements emerged as priorities: safety repairs to the dock, erosion along the shoreline, parking issues, and overall accessibility.

Mercy Housing and a local homeowners’ association transferred the Cedarwood Clubhouse to Lake Stevens in mid-2021. The 5,000-square-foot facility was closed due to security concerns. 

The City has a vision to renovate the building and turn it into a youth recreation facility and community center and is requesting that an interested non-profit agency submit a proposal to the city to co-manage the facility. The building will include a mix of exclusive and non-exclusive spaces for the partnership. The building is expected to be planned and designed in 2023, with construction occurring in the summer of 2024.

Proposals were accepted through February 10, 2023, and interviews will be held by March 31, 2023.

In 2020 the Lake Stevens City Council adopted the first Trails Master program.  One of the priorities of the plan was a trail corridor in the alignment of the 20^th Street Ballfields extending north to the city of Marysville.  The property was analyzed to see if developing a trailhead, non-motorized trail, dog park, and multi-use field was possible.  A preliminary plan emerged in 2021.

In June 2021, the Parks and Recreation Planning Board hosted an open house for the 20^th Street Ballfield property, the preliminary plan was brought forward with updated information on landscape design, playground footprint, and increased parking based on public input.  The community survey results were presented from the public survey on preferred options including playground design, preferred materials, dog park amenities and location, and general park feel. 

This project is important as it satisfies several priorities from the community.  Trails and athletic fields are important to the community and always score very high in surveys and public outreach.   The project is scheduled for completion in 2023.
