Tyson Park Redevelopment
Tyson Park updates are coming soon! After securing funding and navigating land use requirements, park improvements will begin in 2026. Watch the recording of the December virtual neighborhood meeting to see the proposed final park design and updated project timeline.
Proposed Park Design
In 2024, Willamalane collected community input on park features for future upgrades to Tyson Park. Feedback from meetings, focus groups, and hundreds of survey responses shaped the final park design. Later, while navigating land use requirements, emergency access ways were incorporated. Watch the recording of the December virtual neighborhood meeting for a full overview of the upcoming changes and project timeline.
