Grabber Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 This years event was great. We had triple the head count from last year. 60 people total. Today Tana & I went for a hike & jog at Lewisville Park. It's a few miles from our house. We thought it might make a good place to have a gathering.The park is 150 acres and has the lewis river running thru it. Miles of paved and unpaved trails to hike too. It has 13 big shelters with power in them and wood fired grilles and big barb-B-Q's. Several nice restroom houses, and lots of play equipment in many different areas for the kids. The outdoor shelters are very nice and have there own adjacent parking areas. The rent is cheap from what I was told. Also if they are not rented there is a open sign on them and they are then Free. Take a look at these pic's and see if you think this would be a good place to have the next Meet and greet. The other Pluss is that we are in an area that would be great for a cruise too.

GT500Ron Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Looks great. Is there a camp ground in that park with hook ups for my RV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Looks great. Is there a camp ground in that park with hook ups for my RV? You need to give the photos a minute to load, that's why the posts look empty. Here is a link to the park and a address so you can check nearby RV parks. This is just an idea. I am open to others or we could do it at my house again. http://www.bgwa.com/lewisville_park.htm <H1 class=pagetitle>Lewisville Park</H1>For information about reservations, parking fees, and other parks in Clark County please see the Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation Web site.

Grabber Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 <H2 align=center>Lewisville Park</H2> Entrance to Lewisville Park In a word, this park is "Incredible" so just enjoy! Remember your picnic lunch, binoculars and/or camera. "Just" two miles North of Battle Ground on Hwy 503, is Lewisville Park. This is the Grand Daddy of the oldest Clark County regional parks, established in the 1930s in this area. Let's just say it is HUGE and certainly has a huge capacity with it's 154 acres of Fir, Cedar & other trees as well as other open grassy areas along the banks of the Lewis River. There is plenty of parking in this facility. This park has a 3-mile trail system which wanders through the park gathering great views of the surrounding area and the park itself. Activities are plenty including: swimming, fishing, picnicking, and horseshoes. There are softball, baseball and soccer fields, playgrounds, and restrooms located throughout the park. Additionally there are 12 log picnic shelters and 3 ‘mini-sections’ without shelters that may be reserved in advance. Many picnic areas without shelters are available in a variety of locations within the park on first-come, first served basis. For reservations or additional information, phone 696-8219.

Grabber Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I've been there a few times, great place. Is there an area to reserve for large groups to gather?It may be early to start a list, but I'm in :happy feet: Some of the shelters are plenty big enough for our group. The shelters have adjacent parking for our cars. I saw a park guy and asked him if we could get permission to do a photo shoot on the grass, and he said yes.

Red Diver Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm new to TS, joined last month. I have a 07 SGT/SC1210, white, 5 speed, with a Kenne Bell s/c that was done by SAI in October. It would be great to meet local Shelby guys and a trip to Battle Ground in the spring sounds great. I grew up in the Portland area and we now live in Bend, OR. If you have room for one more I'm in. My wife said she's in to. Red Diver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
