Introduction to Lynden City Parks

A steady increase in Lynden's population and the pockets of available land eligible for green space are two main reasons that the Lynden City Parks Committee gathers regularly. We believe that further development of parks and trails in any community serves a variety of needs. However, your input is helpful as you bring to the forefront the wishes of our community through sharing ideas and responses to proposed parks and trails.

For each proposed park we will include a summary of the park plan or the discussion that has surrounded potential park or trail ideas.

7th Street Park

Proposed Plan:

The 7th Street Park Plan includes three stages of development. The first step will offer a trail that extends the perimeter of the park with benches alongside the trail and picnic tables easily accessible. Future plans will involve the following:

1) Involvement of school groups and interested volunteers to remove invasive blackberry bushes.
2) Development of a birding trail loop with informational signs and a bird survey pamphlet useful for bird identification and on-going tracking purposes
3) Eventual connection to a river dike trail along the Nooksack River
