Owen Beach Project Survey

We Need Your Opinion!

New restrooms, a children’s play area and a second picnic shelter are among the improvements proposed for Owen Beach in Point Defiance Park. Metro Parks has budgeted $4.6 million for the project, including $2.25 million from the state Recreation and Conservation Office. Construction is to begin in 2018.

Please help us design this project by answering the questions below.

You can visit DestinationPointDefiance.org to learn more about the project and view design ideas presented in a public meeting on December 7, 2016. You’re invited to participate in a follow-up meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. February 15, 2017, at the Pagoda in Point Defiance Park.

Thank you!
