The Birchwood Park Master Plan was amended March 2019 to include a replacement of the existing porta-potty with a permanent restroom and construction of a bicycle pump track in the southwest section of the park. The pump track is a partnership project with the Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition and is being designed and constructed through generous community donations.
Both the restroom and the pump track are now open! The Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition and Bellingham Parks are planning a grand opening celebration party for later this summer. Stay tuned for more information.
