The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District recently sent out a campground development survey to community members.

The survey is meant to gauge the public’s thoughts and opinions on a proposed campground to be built on 35 acres of land adjacent to Community Park and behind South Whidbey High School. The survey asks a series of questions including the level of support for proposed amenities, potential usage by the individual and his/her family or friends, potential price ranges for donations and potential annual tax increases for a bond to help cover the costs for the development of the campground.

The current concept for the new property is in development. The district hired consulting firm J.A. Brennan Associates Landscape Architects & Planners to design a campground.
