Crescent Creek Master Plan

Final Draft Master Plan Report

Appendices - Combined

City Council will be reviewing the master plan and resolution for adoption at their January 26, 2026 meeting. 

What is a Master Plan?

Master plans are about expressing a long-term vision for your parks. Features shown in a master plan include the type of activities you might want to experience. A master plan also includes the infrastructure and circulation needed to support those activities like walkways, parking, lighting, and restrooms. Ultimately, a master plan is intended to guide future implementation, with more detailed design and funding to follow at a later date. It’s important that your vision, ideas, and opportunities are reflected in the master plan of your park.

Master Plan

The master plan process restarted again in January 2025, after a contract amendment with HBB Landscape Architects was approved by city council. Since then, HBB has come up with concepts and received feedback from city staff and a community advisory committee (CAC) made up of park neighbors and representatives for many of the uses at the park. The three draft concepts were narrowed down to the Draft Preferred Concept, which was presented at a public open house on September 18, 2025. The public is encouraged to share their opinions on the draft concepts via a survey, which will be open until October 5, 2025. 

Masonic Lodge Plan

A group of local volunteers, led by the Harbor History Museum Executive Director, came up with a conceptual plan for remodeling and managing the Masonic Lodge. The Lodge would be remodeled with an addition added on the back of the building for approximately $4.5 million that would be paid for by grants, fundraising and a kdkks. The basement would be used for museum storage and offices, with exterior restrooms on added on to the rear of the building. The upper floor would be available for rent to the public as an event space, along with a commercial kitchen. 

City Council expressed support for the plan at a study session in July, but did not commit to funding any part of the project. At that meeting, council directed staff to continue work on the master plan, with the assumption that the building will stay and be converted to a community hall.

Crescent Creek Park Site Analysis:

The City has contracted with a landscape architecture consultant to develop a master plan for Crescent Creek Park. The park consists of six separate parcels which currently contain amenities like a volunteer-built BMX track, baseball field, tennis court, two sand volleyball courts, a basketball half-court, a maritime-themed playground, and historic picnic and bathroom structures built by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. One of the parcels contains the former Masonic Lodge, which is also the former site of the historic Crescent Valley School, built in 1915.

The Masonic Temple Association purchased the property in 1946 and added a 30 x 39 foot addition to the west side of the building, with a basement. They demolished the top floor of the school and covered the windows, significantly altering the building’s appearance. The City purchased the Lodge parcel in 2017. The City Council heard from a group of area residents who have developed concepts for a major remodel and addition to the Lodge. Council has asked for a 1 year pause on the master planning process in order for more specifics to be developed by the group. Future meetings will be open to the public.
