An aerial view shows an immense pond abutting a park. The park contains walking paths, a community garden, and many grassy areas. Verbena and other plants grow along a meandering gravel path. Concrete steps ascend a rocky slope. The stairs are bordered by strips of river rock. An enormous boulder stands at the center of a gravel roundabout. The roundabout is bordered by boulders large and small. A gravel path continues toward rows of house in the background. An aerial view shows a stunning geometric design: an enormous boulder in the center of a gravel circle, surrounded by a border of boulders and river rocks. Gravel paths extended from sides and bottom of the circle. A long gabion basket is filled with river rocks. A gravel walking path recedes into the distance, surounded on either side by grass and plants. An aerial view shows rows of large and small raised garden beds installed throughout a large gravel patio. A gravel path diverges. The left side of the path meanders down a slope and around the front of a tiered amphitheater. The right side of the path curves around the backside of the amphitheater. Ornamental grasses grow in the planting areas around the paths. A gravel path runs down a slope next to a rusted steel planter. A Japanese maple, which is changed colors, grows from the center of the planter. An aerial view shows the color contrast between a long bocce ball court lined white oyster shells and the surrounding blue-gray gravel. Chunks of quarried rock, a.k.a. quarry spalls, are surrounded by a chain-link net of wire. A dry creek bed made up of small- to medium-sized river rock and boulders. A log and pieces of wood are scattered throughout the creek bed, which is surrounded by plants like pine trees and vine maples.

Description

Located in Bonney Lake, Discovery Park is a 15-acre park, one of the largest in the Tehaleh master community. The park includes extensive trails, a community garden, retention basins, and a large lawn.

Materials

¼" Minus Trail Gravel
Quarry Spalls
Streambed Cobbles

Highlights

Washington Rock's products are used extensively throughout the space. The trails were constructed using Washington Rock's ¼" minus trail gravel. Our streambed cobbles were used to construct the massive dry creek bed at the entrance and to fill the gabions throughout the park. Behind the creek bed is a barrier constructed from our quarry spalls.
