Commissioner Reports

Commissioner Kincannon said we set up tables, had clipboards with volunteer work party forms/waivers, eye protection, gloves, and small hand tools for volunteers. A water and snack station were set up. S Lindgren and F McCullough were onsite to direct and assist volunteers. I sat at the table waiting for volunteers to show up until 10.45am. Commissioner Brazil walked around the disc golf course. Commissioner Morris toured the trail park with S Lindgren on the UTV. Commissioner Brazil said the disc golf course was immaculate. Commissioner Morris was impressed by the final product of the trail park and disc golf course. Despite all efforts to market the event, unfortunately, no one showed up to volunteer to help with grooming trails or to talk about the Hoodsport Trail Park project, so we all agreed at 10:45am to pack everything up and we all left by 11am.

The Port of Hoodsport’s commission is pleased to announce the reopening schedule for the 80-acre Hoodsport Trail Park. The year-long project to remove diseased, dying, and fallen hazard trees will be completed by the end of May 2023, with a Grand Re-Opening scheduled for Saturday May 27th at 10 am. To prepare for the re-opening, a volunteer work party is scheduled for Saturday, May 13th, from 10 am – 2 pm. Volunteers will groom soft surface hiking trails, distribute bark, and provide general trail maintenance. Volunteers must be at least 18 yrs. old and will need to register and sign a liability waiver to participate.

As part of the reforestation project, 3000 Cedar trees (impervious to laminated root rot also known as Poria weirii disease), were purchased and replanted within the park to restore the forest and wildlife habitat; and to protect soil and water resources. With continued support and investment, our trail park has the potential to make a lasting impact on the health of the environment and economy of our community.

Along with the re-opening of the Hoodsport Trail Park, the Port is also pleased to re-open the Hoodsport Hills Disc Golf Course situated on 20 acres on the South side of State Rt 119, adjacent to the Lake Cushman Golf Course. The course is in a beautiful, forested setting emphasizing its natural aesthetics, a wonderful environment for professional and amateur disc golfers. Disc golf clinics and tournaments at the 9-hole disc golf course events can be scheduled by submitting an event application to the Port of Hoodsport.
