Clarkston, Wash – Gateway Park, a community landmark, is sporting a fresh look with recently sown grass. This transformation promises a more lush and sustainable landscape for residents and visitors to enjoy.
The project, initiated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, aims to create a greener, more welcoming environment at the small park located near the Snake River on the corner of Bridge Street and Riverview Street in Clarkston. Sowing new grass not only enhances the park’s aesthetic appeal but also fosters environmental sustainability. The freshly sown grass will improve soil stability, reduce erosion, and absorb rainwater, contributing to the park’s long-term ecological health.
USACE would like to extend its gratitude to all those who have supported the project. Together, we are making Gateway Park a more vibrant, sustainable and enjoyable space for our community.
Visitors are asked to avoid walking or playing on the newly sown grass area to ensure successful growth and establishment. A fence has been placed to protect the newly planted areas.
