Project Updates

Thank you for your feedback to our online workshop and public survey. Your responses to these are shaping the design of Orangegate Park. We are moving forward to create a park design that considers the community’s interests. Right now, we are reviewing your input and developing a final park option that will be shared with the public in the coming months.

About the Project

In 2020-21, Pierce County Parks will work with the community surrounding Orangegate Park and future park users to update the Orangegate Park Master Plan. The first master plan was developed in 2007 but never implemented. The 2020-21 Master Plan update will consider the original master plan and make changes based on public feedback. 


Project Schedule

The Master Plan update will be completed and published in the first half of 2021, and design and engineering of Phase 1 improvements will take place through the remainder of 2021. It is anticipated that Phase 1 of the Master Plan will be constructed in 2022-23 at the same time as the Pipeline Trail. Pipeline Trail passes through Orangegate Park and will include a trailhead in the park.


About the Park

Orangegate Park is an undeveloped approximately 150-acre property that is located in the Summit-Waller community at the intersection of 84th Street East and 46th Avenue East. The property is split by the Tacoma Water Pipeline, which will be developed with a new trail in 2022-23, and 84th Street East. Pierce County Parks purchased the property from Washington Department of Natural Resources in 1998.
