A children's natural play area that was expected to open later this year at Washougal Waterfront Park will instead be built in 2019, due to higher than expected construction bids. The play area will include a hillside slide, log steppers, xylophone, drums, willow tree tunnels, a boulder maze, log balancing beams, a climbing rope and a Sasquatch sculpture named "Eegah," at 335 S. "A" St., Washougal. (Contributed by Greenworks, P.C.)

Children who were looking forward to seeing a Sasquatch sculpture in a natural play area at Washougal Waterfront Park this fall or winter will have to wait until 2019, due to higher than expected construction bids.

The Port of Camas-Washougal had budgeted $350,000 for the project, to be located on part of the former Hambleton Lumber Company property, at 335 S. “A” St., Washougal.
