Columbia Lancaster Neighborhood Park (6000 Idaho St.) is open for play! Thank you to all the community members who helped plan and design this vibrant STEM-themed playground.
Vancouver Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services will host a playground celebration for the community later this spring, information will be sent out once a date is set. In the meantime, neighbors are encouraged to explore their new playground!
Project Overview
Installed in 1994, the play equipment at Columbia Lancaster Neighborhood Park is in poor condition, does not meet current ADA standards and will become a safety concern if it is not replaced. In 2023, Vancouver Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services (VPRCS) is going to replace the play equipment to better serve neighborhood residents.
The budget for this project is focused on replacing the play equipment in the existing location and adding a few additional amenities. No changes will be made to the rest of the park.
