Cities should team on community recreation

With the cities of Camas and Washougal both examining recreation opportunities for residents, it would be prudent to consider working together.

The Camas City Council this month approved a $66,701 contract with Greenworks PC, a Portland-based landscaping company, to conduct an audit and develop a master plan for Crown Park and pool. Washougal, meanwhile, has approved a deal worth up to $85,585 with Portland-based Opsis Architecture LLP to conduct a feasibility study on a new community center.
