City of Lacey marks groundbreaking for 537-acre Greg Cuyo Park
Summary
The City of Lacey held a March 6 groundbreaking for Greg Cuyo Park, a 537-acre site off Carpenter Road NE; the first construction phase will add an inclusive playground, about two miles of trails, an 18-hole disc golf course and other amenities with a tentative opening this fall.
The City of Lacey said it held a groundbreaking on Thursday, March 6, for Greg Cuyo Park, which the city described as its newest and largest park to date. The park site, located off Carpenter Road Northeast, includes 537 acres of dense forest, wetlands, tributaries and other sensitive habitat areas, the announcement said.
The city said the first phase of construction is now underway and will include a large, inclusive and accessible playground; approximately two miles of paved and soft-surface trails; an 18-hole disc golf course; a large picnic shelter; flexible open space; and a portable restroom. The announcement gave a tentative opening of "this fall" and directed residents to the city website for updates as the project progresses.
City materials framed the park as balancing recreation and natural-resource protection. The announcement did not specify construction timelines beyond the tentative opening, capital costs, or long-term management plans for sensitive habitat areas; those details were not included in the recorded update.
