Thanks to the combined generosity of REI, North Kitsap Trails Association, Logan Hammon of Eglon Landscaping, and some wonderful Bayside Church volunteers, there’s an improved section of trail at Village Green Park in Kingston.

On Nov. 1, a group of devoted volunteers accomplished an improvement to a small section of trail in the wooded section of park property to help make the trail usable even during wet weather.

The Village Green Metropolitan Park District thanks Logan, John Bennett, Cobee Childs, Lee Demmert, Michael Nau, Jim Norberg, and Jonathan and Mike Robinson, and also Kurt VanWyuck, who provided logs used to border the improvement. REI’s grant to the NKTA made it possible to purchase fabric, gravel, and wood chips to build up a wet section of the trail built by some of those same volunteers early this spring.

The Village Green Metropolitan Park District is the property owner at the Village Green and greatly appreciates this boost to enhancing usability of the park’s trail amenities. Thanks to the volunteers, to REI, and to NKTA!
