(L-R) Bert the Salmon; Liz Aspen, Parks and Recreation commissioner; Scott Hageman, Woodinville City Council member; Linda Sarpy, Parks and Recreation commissioner; and Robert Vogt, Parks and Recreation Commission chair, took part in the Oct. 6 grand opening celebration of the Rotary Community Park Boardwalk.

On Oct. 6, the City of Woodinville formally celebrated the opening of the Rotary Community Park Boardwalk.

The boardwalk and gravel trail are approximately 2,900 feet long and provide views of Little Bear Creek and its wetland habitat.

The opening coincided with salmon spawning season so visitors, aided by naturalist/salmon stations, could watch the fish as they came up the creek. The boardwalk, across the street from Woodinville High School, has won national recognition through its use of recycled materials and construction techniques that prevent damage to the sensitive creekside environment.

The location for the salmon viewing at Rotary Community Park Boardwalk and Trail is at 19518 – 136th Ave. N.E. For more information, call 425-398-9327 or visit www.ci.woodinville.wa.us.
