Large-Scale Projects


The plan update process found that priorities for Large-Scale projects have shifted over the past six years. While many of the projects have been “around” for some time, community desires and City Council actions have provided a definite focus for Large-Scale Projects.

With the new arena completed in July 2009, priorities have shifted to completion of the redevelopment of the playfields and completion of the concourse.12 greenway trail

Trails also seem to have become a higher priority with many residents in favor of the proposed the US 97 Pedestrian/Equestrian Bridge-Trail to link the Eastside Park with the North Omak residential and shopping area. Others support the proposed “Greenway Trail” along the Okanogan River to link the County's two major cities. Both of these projects have already been the subject of special studies with the US 97 Bridge a priority in the 2004 Capital Facilities Plan.

Despite opposition by landowners along the Okanogan River, the idea of pedestrian/non-motorized trails remains popular with many residents. The importance of safe and convenient routes for walkers and bicyclists has implications beyond park and recreation planning. Non-motorized trails link transportation and park planning.

Discussion and comments received also showed that residents favored a river levee nature trail along the dike. The flood control levee forms a natural walkway along the property’s north and west sides that could be used as a non-motorized pathway.

Comments received also showed that many favored the development of a trail connection Behavioral health and a small parcel of City property off Koala Drive in north Omak.

Several Large-Scale Projects from the 1999 Plan have either been completed, become part of a large project or have begun implementation. These projects are described below with updated information where available.

Eastside Park Quadplex - This top priority project in the 1997 Eastside Park Master Plan remains a high priority and has become one of the major pieces needed to complete the Omak Stampede Arena and Grounds Redevelopment Project and remains important to the overall scope of planning for athletic fields throughout City Parks. The Quadplex would become the central facility for baseball and softball. The project involves developing the central area of the park to create a large multi-purpose playfield space with infrastructure for an additional varsity baseball field at the east end of the area (see Master Plan). The project would accomplish three objectives:



  • address safety-related concerns associated with current configuration of the fields

  • encourage more efficient use of available park acreage

  • bring a more pedestrian-oriented character to the park

The Quadplex will include field lighting, central bathrooms and a concession area.

Indoor or Therapeutic Pool - Both Omak and Okanogan have citizens pushing for an indoor or therapeutic pool. The Park Board recommends that these groups consider combining their efforts and look into the formation of a Park and Recreation District encompassing the Omak and Okanogan School Districts as one means of developing such a project. The expense associated with building an indoor pool or even covering the existing pool is prohibitive without substantial outside support.



The following list of Large Scale Projects was developed through a prioritization process using the Project Selection Criteria.

  • US 97 Pedestrian/Equestrian Bridge/Trail

  • Greenway Trail from Pioneer Park to radio station

  • upgrade playground equipment at Civic League Park

  • Dalton-Klessig solar lighting, fencing, picnic shelter

  • indoor therapeutic pool

  • Oak Street permanent bathrooms

  • Omak Pioneer Park pedestrian bridge to East Side Park

  • quadplex

  • East Side Park new/replacement bathroom/shower facilities

  • relocate RV dump

  • new multi-purpose events concourse
