# October 5, 2026 Meeting of the Duvall Parks Advisory Commission

The City of Duvall Parks Advisory Commission met on October 5, 2026. Commissioners reviewed community survey responses about King County’s Duvall Park, including interest in trail connections, accessible paths, benches, and other low-impact amenities. They discussed wetland-buffer restrictions and the need to protect the park’s sequoias; staff noted that an arborist report recommends any asphalt removal be gradual and carefully managed. The commission also discussed advocacy with King County and concerns that the current six-year parks levy does not identify specific projects for the Duvall area. No contract awards, bids, or purchasing decisions were identified.

The commission considered activating Big Rock Park through a community event. A staff member said approximately $5,000 was being included in 2027–28 budget preparations to begin activating the space, while donations could help support a near-term event. The city is also planning to apply for a grant in February for a bike event targeted for May 2027, with a decision expected by April. Commissioners passed a motion to reserve time at the next meeting to continue discussing event ideas and possible committee work. The meeting did not approve a procurement or specific spending commitment.
