NW Neighborhood NW Neighborhood Association, Vancouver Washington The Discovery Trail along Burnt Bridge Creek is a popular recreational facility.

The neighborhood is comprised entirely of single family development and is characterized by well-kept, older homes. The homes are primarily owner-occupied and the area has a very stable and balanced population of young families, middle-aged people, and retirees. The neighborhood is also home to two elementary schools, Ben Franklin and Our Lady of Lourdes, and three residential care homes. As the neighborhood is situated on a promontory, many neighbors enjoy views of Vancouver Lake, the surrounding lowlands, and Stewart Glen. Franklin Park is a favorite gathering place with tremendous views. The area has abundant trees and landscaping with few curbs and sidewalks. Neighbors say that the Northwest Neighborhood has a “country in the city” feeling.

From Vancouver Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services

Franklin Park Playground closed Monday, Aug. 10

The playground at Franklin Park will be closed on Aug. 10, starting at 8 a.m. Columbia West Engineering will be at the park for infiltration testing to prepare for the new playground construction in 2027. The rest of the park will stay open.

Infiltration testing involves digging a six-inch hole, pouring water into it, and then measuring the time it takes the water to pass through the soil. This important test is completed in multiple locations around the playground. The results will give designers the information they need to understand the footing requirements to build a safe, new play structure. Any holes created for testing will be filled after tests are completed.
