Image of MyPark Neighborhood Park
MyPark Neighborhood Park

Between E. 17th Street and E. 18th Street
on the east side of Date Street
Vancouver, WA

MyPark Neighborhood Park (formerly Date Street right-of-way) exemplifies how citizens can help build a true sense of community. This little park, which is 54 feet wide by 300 feet long, was formerly a transportation right-of-way. Over the course of nine years, the Harney Heights Neighborhood wrote several grants and convinced the City that the right-of-way would make a great park space. The need was recognized and the monies became available to add this gem of a space to the parks inventory in 2006. The Vancouver -Clark Parks and Recreation Department worked with the neighborhood to develop a master plan. Construction was funded by a Community Development Block Grant and completed two years later.

The MyPark Neighborhood Park mission statement, as prepared by the neighbors:
"A safe, welcoming place for all, especially kids."
