Wayne Golf Course preserved

The City of Bothell is now the proud owner of the entire 89-acre Wayne Golf Course property, authorized by the City Council in the City’s largest acquisition for a single park. On Dec. 12, the Council approved the purchase of the Wayne Golf Course Back 9 for about $400,000.

Together with the earlier action to buy the Front 9, this permanently preserves the entire golf course in perpetuity.

Watch the City's website and social media channels (Facebook and Twitter) for updates on how you can get involved in the naming of the new park and in developing the park master plan.
