The new walkway will be located on the southeast and south side of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City\u2019s Streets Division will begin work on the project which will connect to existing walkway and utilize the sidewalk along River Road. When complete, there will be more than 4,500 feet of paved path at Chesterley Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe new walkway will create a loop that people can use for leisure and exercise,\u201d said Parks and Recreation Manager Ken Wilkinson. \u201cWe are so pleased to provide another recreation amenity for our community to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During walkway construction, most of Chesterley Park will remain open to the public. Construction will be away from the park\u2019s soccer fields. No traffic restrictions or closures are anticipated during construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to complete walkway improvements by the end of April or early May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is funded through City of Yakima Real Estate Excise Tax (REET).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Parks and Recreation Manager Ken Wilkinson at 509-576-6416 or Communications &amp; Public Affairs Director Randy Beehler at 509-901-1142 for more about the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/yakimaparks.com\/parks\/chesterley-park\/\">Chesterley Park | Yakima Parks and Recreation<\/a>&nbsp;for more about Chesterley Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/yakimaparks.com\/\">https:\/\/yakimaparks.com\/<\/a>&nbsp;for more about Yakima Parks and Recreation programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/points-of-interest\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/sites\/2\/chesterley-park-walkway.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/points-of-interest\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/sites\/2\/chesterley-park-walkway-766x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/points-of-interest\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/sites\/2\/chesterley-park-walkway-766x1024.png 766w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/points-of-interest\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/sites\/2\/chesterley-park-walkway-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/points-of-interest\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/sites\/2\/chesterley-park-walkway-768x1027.png 768w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/points-of-interest\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/sites\/2\/chesterley-park-walkway-400x535.png 400w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/points-of-interest\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/sites\/2\/chesterley-park-walkway.png 842w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walkway expansion is underway at the City of Yakima&#8217;s Chesterley Park.
