Vancouver, WA – Clark County Public Works and Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation will begin construction of an improvement project at Frenchman’s Bar Regional Park on July 20.

The project will add two covered picnic shelters in the park, which is located at 9612 N.W. Lower River Road. A large picnic shelter, located west of the southern parking lot, will include 12 tables, a concrete counter with sink and electrical outlets. A small picnic shelter, located west of the caretaker’s residence, will include six tables and two electrical outlets.

Clark County recently awarded the park improvement contract to Larry O. Collins, Inc. of Vancouver for $451,057. Construction is scheduled to be complete in October.

The contractor is allowed to work in the park seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Park visitors may experience some minor impacts during construction, but the park will remain open.

The real estate excise tax, which is paid whenever property is sold, is funding design and construction of this improvement project.
