Cordata Community Park Phase 2

Design of the next phase of Cordata Community Park is underway!

Phase 2 development of Cordata Community Park is grounded in the vision of the Park Master plan adopted by City Council in 2017 and will extend the range of high quality recreational opportunities in Cordata Park to the citizens of Bellingham. Please check out the full project scope, budget, and schedule in the Cordata Park Phase 2 Presentation underneath the "Documents" tab.

10. Lighted parking area for 51 cars and bus parking
11. Utilities - water, irrigation, sewer, electrical, telecom

This project also includes mitigation for impacts to wetlands buffers. This project also seeks to incorporate Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings where possible.

The City acquired the 25-acre park in 2015, and the Park officially opened in September 2020 with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Click here to view the Cordata Park Opening video. Phase 2 development is funded by park impact fees and the Greenways Four levy.
