The plan calls for expanding the park's patio, beach and playground area; adding a beach volleyball court, benches, a rinse shower, and safety signage for boaters; replacing the existing water fountain to include a pet waterer; rehabilitating electrical panels and wiring; and building additional sidewalks.

Wilson says they hope to have the project completed before swimming season.

Restoration at Peninsula Park is listed as part of a new six-year Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan adopted by the City in December.

Drafting of the plan was necessary to continue the City's eligibility for grant funding from the Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office.
