Kozy Kamp Park Vancouver, Washington
On a 5-acre open space parcel near Vancouver, Washington’s northern border exists Kozy Kamp Park, providing a green oasis in a quickly developing suburban community. Working from a previously prepared master plan, Otak led an environmental review and land use approvals before assisting the County with construction document preparation and construction phase services to build this much-anticipated neighborhood park.
Utilizing a Master Plan Process to Protect a Wetland and Meet Diverse Community Recreation Interests
In utilizing community feedback as part of the master plan process, the development of Kozy Kamp Park – named after a locally-made camping trailer – focused on improvements aimed at meeting the diverse recreation interests of the community. Among the features are a basketball court, play structures, comfortable site furnishings, a generous grass field for passive recreation, and access to a paved loop trail. The project also includes frontage improvements, assistance with road modification request, and permitting for work near a wetland area and buffer that occupies twenty-five percent of the park.
