A small neighborhood park on Kent’s West Hill has a completely new look after about $338,000 in upgrades.<\/p>\n

Salt Air Vista Park, 24615 26th Pl. S.,<\/a> sits just two blocks west of Pacific Highway South and a bit south of Dick’s Drive-In. The park received a full playground replacement, new swings, a renovated lawn area with new irrigation, stormwater upgrades, improvement to the nature trail, the addition of a nature play area and a new drinking fountain with the ability to fill up drinking bottles.<\/p>\n

King County awarded $1.04 million in grants to the city of Kent in 2022 for three projects, including Salt Air Vista Park. The other projects are a recently completed $500,000 renovation to Morrill Meadows Park on the East Hill and $206,437 for improvements to the Green River Trail and Interurban Trail.<\/p>\n

Salt Air Vista Park opened in the late 1990s and had been showing its age, according to park officials.<\/p>\n

The city Parks Department plans to hold an official grand opening for the renovated park later this spring, with a date to be determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
