The Parkland Trail Extension Routing Study, solicitation 2026-RFQ-229, is a project managed by the Pierce County Parks and Recreation department to expand pedestrian and bike infrastructure in the Parkland and Spanaway areas.

Key deliverables include a publicly vetted conceptual design featuring final trail alignments, feasibility analyses, ROM costing, and a phasing plan, supported by technical documentation and a comprehensive stakeholder engagement plan. The contract is anticipated to have an initial performance period of 18 months, starting around December 2026 or January 2027, with an option for a two-year renewal.

Full Description

The idea for a north-south trail in this area has existed for many years and was adopted within the Parkland/Spanaway/Midland Community Plan (effective 2002). Support for a community trail network was echoed again in 2017 when Pierce County's Planning and Public Works Department held a series of community meetings associated with an update to the Parkland/Spanaway/Midland Community Plan. Trail routes provide an alternate north-south route to the heavily traveled SR7 corridor and are intended to be safe and user-friendly for all ages and abilities. The Parkland and Spanaway communities lack pedestrian and bike infrastructure. Following this public input, Pierce County Parks and Recreation built the Parkland Community Trail. Built in the road right-of-way, the project was completed in partnership with Pierce County Planning and Public Works and represents a new model of trail development in the County. Phase 1 was completed in September 2026. The existing trail runs from Sprinker Recreation Center, north along Yakima Avenue and 8 th Ave S, to Tule Lake Road. Phase 2 will be built in 2028, running through the disc golf course to the corner of 124 th Street S and 12 th Ave S. Together, the first two phases connect neighborhoods and the Parkland community to parks and schools including Washington High School, Keithley Middle School, Brookdale Elementary School, Pacific Lutheran University, Parkland Prairie Habitat, Gonyea Playfield, and Sprinker Recreation Center. Extensions of the Parkland Trail are identified in the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan and Regional Trails Plan. This study was adopted in Pierce County's Biennial Budget and Capital Facilities Plan (CFP). A routing study is necessary to define the exact location and route of future trail extensions, including public engagement, ROW availability, driveway crossings, local connections, and other contributing factors. Establishing and expanding the Parkland Trail system was identified as an Executive Priority in 2025. The Department's website is a valuable resource for information about the many services provided.
