The Washington State Parks Department thinks Schafer State Park could use a makeover, and they could spend about $4 million to do it.
The 113-acre camping park is in the southwest corner of Mason County, about 9 miles northeast of Montesano.
The agency has hired Seattle landscape architecture and planning firm J.A. Brennan Associates to begin planning improvements at the park.
The public’s next opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions on what changes are needed is 6 p.m. today at Montesano City Hall.
The campsites flood during most rainy seasons. State Parks hopes to make the campsites and the rest of the park more accessible to users year-round.
The total project estimate is more than $4 million over 10 years.
The state has allocated about $700,000 to start planning the changes.
The Schafer State Park meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Dec. 5 at Montesano City Hall, 112 N. Main St.
