Trails plan task force set; park site visits and Wilderness Park bridge cost flagged

Poulsbo Parks & Recreation Commission · January 27, 2026

Summary

A trails task force was scheduled to begin in late February to map trails and plan wayfinding; commissioners also scheduled site visits (Rob Park, Ostergruen, Wilderness Park) and staff said replacing the Wilderness Park bridge would cost about $45,000–$55,000.

The commission agreed to form a trails task force to develop a trails plan that will include mapping existing trails, wayfinding, signage and a multi-year implementation timeline. Staff said the effort will likely take two years and recommended a small, focused committee to begin work once capital-project closeouts finish.

Commissioners also arranged site visits and a parks meet-and-greet for late February to review Robinson, Ostergren and Wilderness parks with operations staff; the commission asked staff to prepare a short "cheat sheet" describing each park’s footprint and history for commissioners.

Staff flagged a maintenance need at Wilderness Park: "The replacement for that bridge is about 45 to $55,000," the staff member said, noting commissioners should see the site to understand the scope. Staff will follow up with scheduling and any grant opportunities for capital repairs.
