Ivy Park


Ivy Park is a small triangular green space area in a residential area bordering Ivy and Granite Streets and Fifth Avenue in South Omak. In the 1999 plan, this park was referred to as Triangle Park. An underground irrigation system was installed in 1992 to serve the park’s lawn and trees.

No other facilities or development are located or planned in Triangle Park because its small size and location are prohibitive. Suggestions have been made to place an art display/statue on the site or cement the small area to limit the maintenance costs.


Johnny’s Park


Johnny’s Park is an approximate quarter-acre green space located at the corner of Ash Street and West Cherry Avenue. This park is a sloped lawn area with shrubs and several shade trees. The 1999 plan had no potential improvements planned or proposed.

Julia Maley Park


Julia Maley Park is a quarter-acre neighborhood park, which was also donated to the City by John and Julia Maley. Until 1995, only about half of the park was developed with lawn area and trees. In 1995, the lawn area was extended and now covers the whole park. Park staff also planted two new trees in the spring of 1999. The park features nice shade trees, picnic facilities, parking area and some playground equipment in the northwest corner. In July 2005 a mural created by Omak Community Schools, painted by local children and adults, is displayed on the east retaining wall of the alley bordering the park. It is currently used as a playground and neighborhood park for local residents.julia maley park2

Potential improvements from the 1999 plan included planting more trees, upgrade playground equipment, and construct a picnic shelter. More recently the park has been identified as a potential location for a new well for the City and an effort has begun to relocate or replace the playground equipment closer to Fourth Avenue to improve visibility and to install better barriers to prevent vehicles from accessing the lawn area of the park.

Kiwanis Park

Kiwanis Park is a small quarter-acre level, neighborhood grassed area in the Pan Vista subdivision. The Pan Vista subdivision is a residential area located in the north central portion of the City. This park was referred to in the 1999 plan as Pan Vista Park, but was seeded and fenced by the local Kiwanis Club so now carries that name. Kiwanis Park was originally a diversion area to dispose of storm water run-off generated by the surrounding streets and residences.kiwanis park3

During the late 1970's or early 80's area homeowners asked the City if the area could be planted with grass and used as a playground. An underground irrigation system was installed in 1992. The park primarily serves as a playfield for neighborhood children, with a small diamond for T-ball. In 1997, the Kiwanis Club put in a cement pad for a small basketball court.

Potential improvements from the 1999 plan included the installation of a "Big Toy" or similar type of playground equipment and picnic facilities.

Maley Park

Maley Park is a quarter-acre green space park located between Fourth Avenue and Okoma Drive. It was donated by John and Julia Maley and borders their former home. It is primarily a green space with hardwood tree cover and picnic facilities. An underground irrigation system was installed in 1992.13 maley park

The 1999 plan had no potential improvements planned or proposed.

Oak Street Park


Oak Street Park is a three-acre parcel two blocks south of Riverside Drive on Oak Street in the northeastern portion of the City. This is a neighborhood facility with two ball fields. An underground irrigation system was installed in 1992. Oak Street Park serves an important function for local residents, especially with the high use it receives during softball season. When funds become available, this park has great potential and could be improved with participation by local residents.oak st park3

Recent improvements have included permanent ball fields, further landscaping (shade trees), a concession stand, and picnic facilities.

Potential improvements from the 1999 plan included the completion of a master plan what would address a parking scheme, permanent restrooms, and playground equipment.

Omak Pioneer Park


Pioneer Park is a green space/beautification site bordering the west side of the Okanogan River just north of Central Avenue Bridge. Development of this park, which included an irrigation system, landscaping and several benches, was spearheaded in the early 1980's by Loretta Nansen, a Civic League member. Benches are provided for those who have a moment to rest and enjoy the river. A small gazebo is located at the north end, which houses plaques memorializing pioneers. The plaques and gazebo, donated by pioneer families, calls our attention to early pioneers. These tributes grant recognition to those who had the foresight, determination, and willingness to suffer the hardships and perseverance needed to develop what is now the City of Omak. 10 pioneer park2

Potential improvements from the 1999 plan included better maintenance and signage of existing access to the river; and expansion of the park south of the Central Avenue Bridge. One obstacle to the expansion of this park is the fact that the flood control levee on which the expanded park would be located is privately owned. This issue would have to be addressed in planning for such an expansion.



Washington Elm Park

Washington Elm Park is a quarter-acre green space located at the corner of south Main Street and Fourth Avenue. The park was originally named for an Elm tree planted in the early 1900’s, which was said to have come from a tree grown by George Washington. Unfortunately the tree was becoming diseased and presented a hazard and thus was removed in the late winter of 1992. The park was subsequently renamed the Patterson Park.

This park is a lawn area with trees. An underground irrigation system was installed in 1992. The park, which features several benches, provides a green spot as travelers enter the central business district on Omak's Main Street. No improvements are planned or proposed.
