This community park is the largest single piece of property in the District system. Aided by a $200,000 grant, approximately half of this site was developed in 2000 and 2001. The site is currently home to full-size basketball courts, a baseball field, and softball field as well as a two-acre fishing pond. The park boasts an approximate 1 3/4 mile walking/jogging path and is used by the Tri-Cities Soccer Association during their spring and fall soccer seasons.
West Main Community Park is also home to the Bark Park, located at the southwest corner of the site. The Bark Park features three acres of fenced-in space for your four-legged friend to run off leash. A small pavilion and agility equipment are also located within the boundaries of the Bark Park. No permit is required to enter the Bark Park, which is open year-round.
