There are plans for a mtb skills area and pump-track near the old golf proshop/ red-brick road park area as well as gravel multi-use trails, and potential mtb trails. These are amazing features and an extention of what we are working for at the skatepark. All are connected by the Burke-Gilman trail.
Please , take the survey.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on May 28 for the second Community Open House for the Wayne Open Space Action Plan! It was great to connect and hear your ideas.

Couldn’t make it? You can view the full presentation and meeting materials on our project page: bit.ly/wayneopenspaceactionplan

We’re also excited to share that the second project survey is now open through June 28, 2026. Your feedback will help the City refine a preferred design concept as this unique open space continues to evolve. This is a great opportunity to tell us which features, improvements, and experiences matter most to you.

There are still some minor changes to be made, but we are so far down the road from where this began. Having the crew at Grindline Skateparks , with all the personal history there has been fabulous. Thank you for your support along the way. The information and insight Parents for Skateparks has brought to the table has empowered the community to move with confidence.. It's been an honor to work on this together as a skate, inline and bike community. We still have work to do, but this victory for the greater skate/bike Bothell Skatepark Community is huge!
