Infrastructure Improvements

The 2020-2025 King County Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Levy funds a number of projects to repair and renovate existing facilities and infrastructure within properties owned by King County Parks:

• Dockton Park: The existing aging dock facility has significant priority needs for replacement of dock components. Improvements will be done over two phases:
  • Phase 1: updates to the dock including structural cross members, new pump out, waterline work and 14 pile replacements. The project will also study the long-term replacement/reconfiguration/rehabilitation options. 18
  • Phase 2: replacing the existing breakwater, installation of new finger piers to replace the finger piers previously removed and replace existing creosote-treated pilings supporting the pier and finger piers with galvanized and epoxy-coated steel pilings.

• Five Mile Lake Park: This program will contribute to park improvements at Five Mile Lake Park including improvements to the parking area, walking paths, and restrooms.

• Preston Mill Park: This is a capital project in partnership with Mountains to Sound Greenway which includes two phases of development:
  • Phase 1: pathway to the Preston Community Center, a restroom, installation of utilities (septic/power/water), a paved parking lot, and stormwater infrastructure.
  • Phase 2: installation of a picnic shelter, a mill shed, and a kiln building.

• Little Lake Forest Trailhead: The project includes constructing a new parking lot on a 5.1 acre parcel in unincorporated King County approximately 1 quarter mile from the City of Enumclaw’s urban growth boundary.

The County property has an existing road to Little Lake and trails through a dense forest.
