Tollgate Park Agricultural Development – Under Construction
Tollgate Park site is uniquely suited to connect the community with food through farm-based experimental learning opportunities including vegetable farming and growing small livestock, u-pick opportunities for the public, youth programs and camps, workshops for adults and operating a farm stand. This project includes construction of a barn, infrastructure to support farming, and improvements to public access to the Farmhouse area with an entry/exit point and small parking area. This project is funded by the 2018 Capital Bond.
Tennant Trailhead Park – Under Construction
Tennant Trailhead Park is a 32-acre parcel on Rattlesnake Mountain that will offer trails for mountain biking and hiking as well as a picnic area and viewpoints. One of the key elements of this future park is a trail system of family focused mountain biking trails that are easy and short enough for absolute beginners yet provide progression through a future connection to the Raging River system for some truly epic riding experiences. These beginner trails will be a welcome addition to the local trail inventory, and best of all reachable on a bike from many of our local neighborhoods. We are excited for all the benefits this new park will provide for our community! Funded by Si View's capital bond, phase I construction of the trail system is now under construction. The trailhead facilities and parking are funded by King County Parks and scheduled for construction in 2023.
Together with partners, additional grant funding has been secured from King County Parks Levy Open Space Grant Program for the WWRP Trails Grant Program for a later phase connecting Tennant Trailhead to the Raging River Trail system. Tentative timeline for construction of this phase is 2024-2026.

Si View Park North Entrance – In Design
We are working to improve connectivity, aesthetics and pedestrian safety between Si View Park and William Henry Taylor Park by realigning the North entrance area of Si View Park. Removing the old "King County shed" and constructing a new maintenance building on the opposite side of the entrance will provide much needed space for District equipment to maintain the growing parks inventory and enhance the overall visitor experience when entering the park. This project is funded through the 2018 Capital Bond and our Capital Projects Fund with initial work launching in late 2021 and maintenance building construction in 2022. Temporary closures of the North entrance may be necessary during construction.
Tollgate Park to Downtown Trail – Construction in 2023
In partnership with City of North Bend, schematic plans are under review for a trail connection from Tollgate Farm Park to downtown North Bend along North Bend Way on a separated paved pathway. This project is planned for construction in 2023.
Edgewick Trail Connection – In Design
This non-motorized trail creates a connection from the Edgewick neighborhood near North Bend to the regional Snoqualmie Valley Trail near Rattlesnake Lake. The 0.3 mile forested trail improves recreation access for local residents. The District acquired this parcel for open space preservation with funding from the 2018 capital bond and the Conservation Futures grant program (CFT). Project construction funding is supported by a grant from the King County Parks Capital and Open Space Grant program.
