Chambers Creek Canyon Trail Updgrades: Open House On Wednesday

LAKEWOOD, WA - Pierce County will hold an open house Wednesday night to preview proposed upgrades to the trails running through Chambers Creek Canyon between Lakewood and University Place. The Chambers Creek Canyon trail begins at Chambers Bay and runs east up Chambers Creek. A second section of trail extends through the canyon near Kobayashi Park in University Place.

A plan developed by Pierce County and the two cities would better connect the existing sections of trail. The open house takes place beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Chambers Creek Regional Park environmental services building at 9850 64th Street Southwest in University Place.

Here's more on the open house from Pierce County:

An open house is planned for Wednesday, May 31 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in University Place for people to come learn about a joint effort to build a trail through the Chambers Creek Canyon.

Lakewood is working with University Place and Pierce County on the effort because the canyon borders both cities and enters Pierce County property at the Chambers Creek Regional Park.

The open house is a drop-in format and will offer people a chance to chat with city and county staff about the project, learn the details of a recently created trail design report and share information about the next steps.
The meeting is at the Environmental Services Building, 9850 64th Street SW.
