Net Shed Vista Park

Share this Post

Concept plans were developed for the City of Poulsbo as they consider improving this existing neighborhood park by adding shoreline access, managing vegetation to preserve views of the harbor, restoring the slope with native plants and providing other site amenities for picnicking and interpretation. Named after its historical use as a net storage area for the town’s fishing industry, it subsequently became a waste treatment plant, which was then decommissioned in the 1970’s. A set of stairs would allow visitors to access the beach from the upper park area. The stairs would connect to an existing large concrete tank at the base of the hill providing a landing and viewpoint. Existing concrete settling basins would become restored wetlands surrounded by boardwalks and picnic platforms.
