The Camano Island Grange was able to persuade the state to set aside some publicly-owned school lands for a park. In 1949, with the property in hand, the Grange requested that the Parks Commission develop the area as a state park. Finally, the Commission was able to allot $5,000 to the development project. The dollars were granted to create the park, provided the local community would provide a work force of some 500 volunteers to work on the site. "Camano Island Park Day," was scheduled and the people of Camano Island responded with excitement. The Parks Commission surveyed the area and provided some skilled workers. By the end of the day, the park had been built. Picnic areas were prepared, complete with picnic tables; a spring was cleaned and tiled; roads and a parking area were built; and a scenic trail was cleared. The park was usable.
