Karns Meadow’s plan adds a loop trail, bike path, and 28 parking stalls
A new site plan for Karns Meadow Park sketches in a 1/4-mile loop trail, a 10-foot asphalt bike path, a modular restroom, and up to 28 angled parking spaces, with wetland mitigation and creek-access signage built into the layout.
If you have ever rolled up to Karns Meadow and wondered what “finishing” this park actually looks like, the county’s Karns Meadow Park plan attachment is the clearest map yet. The layout shows a 1/4-mile loop trail, an 8-foot-wide permeable ADA surface trail with an 8-foot pedestrian bridge, and a 10-foot asphalt bike pathway, plus new connections tying the park into West Hansen Ave. and the existing Snow King Ave. sidewalk.
On the access side, the plan calls for fourteen 45-degree angled parking spaces with a reserved area for 14 more in the future, a 12 by 17-foot modular restroom building (two bathrooms plus a mechanical room), and bike racks for 10 bikes. It also bakes in buffers and resource protection, including landscape screening along the Broadway commercial edge, reclaiming a gravel lot to buffalo grass, and designated wetland mitigation areas, along with an “informal creek access” spot with signage and seating, which is where user conflict and resource damage usually start if you do not design it on purpose.
