6 Sandy River Park Master Plan 1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Sandy River Park is perhaps the best kept secret in the City’s park inventory. This 124-acre wooded parcel extends from the top of the hillside (level with Bluff Road) on the west, the city limits on the south and down to the Sandy River in the valley. An old logging road descends through the park, providing river access. Except for this feature, the park is formally undeveloped. Trailhead parking is limited to streetside parking along Marcy Street (a short, dead-end residential street east of Bluff Road). The site is located outside the City limits and urban growth boundary (UGB).
For those in the know, this “under-discovered” park provides an easily accessible wilderness experience. Thus, the City Council and Park Board would like to preserve the area as a natural, passive-use park, but would like to begin to develop amenities appropriate for the site with this master plan to help guide efforts and provide a tool for seeking grant funding.
The size, complex history and rich natural resources that make Sandy River Park such a special place, Vicinity Map and Site also necessitated a detailed approach to gaining Aerial Photo courtesy of an understanding of the background, current Google Maps conditions and potential of the site and progressed into a thorough, iterative design process. Regular meetings with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and two major public outreach workshops were key to the success of this project.
City staff, Council and Parks Board members, as well as Sandy citizens all played a significant role in the evolution of the resulting Sandy River Park Master Plan. This document supports the original goals of increasing residents’ awareness of the park and providing amenities that promote appropriate utilization of the park — improved trails, signage, trailhead parking, scenic viewpoints, seating and picnic facilities, improved shoreline conditions with potential for a pullout for kayakers/canoers using the future Sandy River Water Trail and many others detailed in the following sections of this summary.
This report provides an overview of the planning process that resulted in the final, preferred Sandy River Park Master Plan. A summary of the inventory and site analysis is followed by a chronological look at the planning and design process, including the TAC and public workshops. A thorough description of the master plan and its components is included, with the cost opinion, public meeting summaries and other important supporting documents provided as appendices.

The Sandy River Park is a 124-acre wooded parcel located Group Mackenzie completed several site visits to Sandy outside the City limits and urban growth boundary River Park over the course of the project. These visits (UGB).

Proposed Trail Alignment
Sandy River Park Master Plan 1 9 3.0 PLANNING + DESIGN PROCESS (cont.)
Trail Type 1 (Upland Zone)
The alignment in this section of trail remains relatively unchanged from the existing former logging road location and new access trail built by The Nature Conservancy. We recommend meandering the straight logging road section as shown in Alternate 1. • Width: 10 feet at emergency/maintenance route, 5 feet all other sections • Surfacing: 1/4” minus compacted gravel (this can achieve accessibility standards, yet will give the feeling of a “nature trail”) • Slope: <8.33% wherever possible, rest stations per accessible trail guidelines can be included in areas that exceed optimal slope
Trail Type 2 (Wetland Zone and River Zone Loop 1)
The new / revised sections of Trail Type 2 will provide a lower maintenance location (positive slope/drainage) and less impact on wetland resources. As is, Alternate 2 sets up a memorable and unexpected viewpoint, but is located in a wet area that will be difficult to maintain over the long term. The recommended route will be easier to maintain and presents the same view as a surprise when hiking north. The existing Alternate 3 alignment traverses a very wet area; the recommended route is a more sustainable location a proper distance from the wetlands. Alternate 4 currently is a tricky slope to navigate and contributes to erosion adjacent to Cedar Creek. The proposed route eliminates this issue and provides a view of a second water fall. • Width: 3.5 to 4 feet • Surfacing: compacted earth • Slope: <12.5% wherever possible, rest stations per accessible trail guidelines can be included in areas that exceed optimal slope
Trail Type 3 (River Zone (except Loop 1) and most future connections)
Once a hiker reaches the Trail Type 3 sections, they are deep into the park and ready for a more challenging adventure. This portion of the trail system traverses the steepest slopes and takes a visitor to some of the most unique areas of the site. All Trail Type 3 alignments are new sections not yet established so no alternates are proposed. • Width: 2.5 to 3 feet • Surfacing: compacted earthen surface • Slope: no limit, but attempt to not exceed 20%

Entry, Parking and Overlook
Until the opportunities for additional connections are available, Marcy Street will be the primary access to Sandy River Park. Limited space is available for parking, with 11 stalls shown. If the restroom shifts to another location, one to two more spaces could be added. The overlook provides views of the park, a clear meeting place, and a spot to rest before or after a long hike. Signage will offer a memorable entry and interpretive
Restroom
A number of restroom building options were considered. CXT Concrete Buildings is the recommended manufacturer based on durability, maintenance requirements, Cascadian design availability and their headquarters location in the Pacific Northwest. • What is the optimal restroom location? (1) Entry at Marcy Street (2) Sandy River (3) Mid-point
Riverbank Restoration
Sandy River Park is an important fishing site enjoyed by many people throughout the seasons. Pressure by both people and natural systems is resulting in an eroded bank that will continue to worsen without intervention. Bioengineering techniques can stabilize the damaged area, however education via signage and volunteers to encourage positive use of the riverbank is equally important. National Marine Fisheries Services and Department of State Lands will require permit to ensure the work complies with the Endangered Species Act and the needs of this valuable salmonid habitat.
