ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Acknowledgment for Greg Cuoio
On March 3, 2011, the City finalized the purchase of 400 acres in north Lacey to be
preserved for passive recreation, educational opportunities, trails, water resources,
and ecological habitat. With this acquisition, the City created the largest municipal
parks system within Thurston County. Shortly after, the City Council honored Greg
Cuoio upon his retirement by naming the parkland after him in recognition of
his 24 years of public service and contributions to the community as Lacey’s City
Manager; Greg was instrumental in negotiating and securing this land purchase,
which would eventually become the City’s largest park.

OPEN HOUSE #2 - JULY 28, 2021
PARK VISION To provide open space preservation, water quality protection, and enhancement of the natural environment, balancing the natural environment with recreation opportunities to create a place for visitors and residents to experience and learn about this incredibly unique park. We will accomplish this vision by: • Enhancing and protecting the ecological value of this site; • Providing a balance to proposed amenities between active and passive uses, with primarily passive uses near environmentally sensitive areas and their associated buffers; • Being transparent in the community and city expectations for the intended use of the park and the on-going maintenance needs for any future development; • Including previous planning efforts for the area and properties in the master planning process; • Considering opportunities for unique recreational activities that aren’t currently available in the area; and • Focusing on sustainability, protection of sensitive areas, phasing of any proposed improvements, and educational opportunities throughout the site. OPEN HOUSE #2 - JULY 28, 2021
WHAT IS A MASTER PLAN? Master plans are about expressing a long-term vision for your parks and greenways. Features shown in a master plan include the type of activities you might want to experience. Activities might include: • Hiking • Having a picnic or playing games • Attending a community event 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 critical that the master plan reflect your vision, character, and activities you think the park and greenways should include. OPEN HOUSE #2 - JULY 28, 2021

Where is Greg Cuoio Park & Greenways?
Greg Cuoio Park & Greenways is located between the Crossroads and Hawk’s Prairie
neighborhoods of Lacey, just north of I-5. Part of the area also extends into the City’s Urban
Growth Boundary, which means it’s not currently in the city limits but could be in the future.

TOLMIE STATE PARK
“ We love Tolmie and Watershed park
hiking with our kids. Would like to see
another option to do family hiking,
interpretive trails, bird watching,
maybe the occasional resting bench.
“
I appreciate close interaction “
with local species and nature like
Tolmie State Park.
“ Burfoot Park, Tolmie and Priest Point
Park are great examples of mixed use
with somewhat low footprint. Lacey
needs a park like this, not another
recreation area like Rainier Vista. Given
that this area is crucial habitat for
salmon and other species, I’d love to
see only 10-15% developed maximum,
setting an example for green space and
“
habitat protection like nowhere else in
Lacey, or even Thurston County.

“
Nisqually Wildlife Refuge “
is pristine, full of nature,
and animals.
“ Nisqually Wildlife Refuge, Woodard
Bay and Priest Point are by far my“
favorite family walks, though I would
love something closer to home.
“ As a female, I’m very choosy of the
parks that I go to on my own. I prefer
open spaces to take my kids to, like
Nisqually Wildlife Refuge.... I prefer
“
plenty of mature trees trimmed up
about 8+ feet from the ground.

WOODARD BAY CONSERVATION AREA
“ I love the large trees/ forested areas, wetlands
and any natural spaces I can retreat to. A few
“
of my favorite places are Priest Point, Woodard
Bay, Tolmie State Park- woods and wetlands!
“ ... Woodard Bay and Priest Point are by
far my favorite family walks, though I
“
would love something closer to home.
“ Burfoot Park and Woodard Bay are some
of my favorite places because they feel
like there is so much space that it doesn’t
feel crowded and busy. We enjoy walking
through the open spaces with pathways and
“
the opportunity to take in the scenery of the
area. Also, there is plenty of parking!

PRIMARY PATHS
Primary paths serve as the main form of circulation for users
within the park. These paths could vary in width between 8
and 12 feet, and could be paved with asphalt, crushed stone,
or mulch. Primary path level of accessibility may vary with path
location and material.
SECONDARY PATHS
Secondary paths serve as an alternative route through the park
to add length to a walk/hike, or to link various programmed
activities throughout the park. These paths could vary in width
between 4 and 6 feet, usually with a soft surface material, such
as gravel or mulch.
PARK ACCESS
Access to the park can include pedestrian only access, or may
also include some level of parking. They are design to support
ADA guidelines, and may include kiosks, small play areas,
seating and picnic tables, and signage for wayfinding.

ACCESS, CIRCULATION, TRAIL PROGRAMMING
Disc golf is proposed along the primary and
some secondary trails in the central activity
area of the park with up to 18-holes identified.
However, there is a long-term desire to expand
the course to include an additional 18-holes for
a full gold-level course.
Do you prefer this expansion area
to occur along the proposed trails
within Pleasant Glade Park, OR or
east of Carpenter Road?

In addition to the secondary trails proposed,
the trail system in the northeast corner of
the Park & Greenways will include some
opportunity for mountain biking, generally
geared towards families and individuals
who may not yet be comfortable with more
technical trails. However, this could also
include a zip line and/or ropes course in
the canopy above the trails, which would be
developed ONLY in partnership with another
agency or organization to operate and

BOTANICAL GARDENS
A botanical garden could serve a wide
range of visitors to the park and help
promote a message of conservation and
naturalism for the park. A mix of trails
could meander through a botanical
garden providing multiple points of
connection for other trails throughout
the park. A portion of the garden could
be used as a community garden.
COMMUNITY / FOOD FOREST
A community garden or food forest
could serve Lacey residents and
park visitors, enhancing the sense of
community and providing its caretakers
with a nurturing objective. Food grown
could be harvested and enjoyed by the
community or donated to support
social services.

needed. This area could also provide
space for larger informal gatherings or
performances in the park.
STRUCTURED CAMPING
This could include event camping
spaces, special tree houses, or yurts
available for rent only in conjunction
with events. This structured camping
would be an opportunity for visitors to
stay in the park in a controlled format
where supervision, maintenance, and
security is part of the rental agreement

OFF-LEASH DOG AREA
An off-leash dog area could consist of
open field or grass areas along with
forested conditions as well. This space
would be enclosed and would have
designated safe points of entry with a
separate safe space enclosed for small
vs. large dogs. Agility training, weather
protection and gathering spaces could
also be included to support social
