Washougal resident April Engle walks with her dogs through Kerr Park on Thursday, Oct. 24. Engle is leading an effort to preserve the 16 acres of greenspace directly south of the park from housing development.

April Engle brings up Kerr Park on Google Maps and sighs, clearly dismayed with what she’s seeing. She points to the 16-acre parcel of land directly south of the Washougal park.

“If this was added to Kerr Park, it would be the largest green space in this area, not counting the Gorge,” she said. “It makes me sadder when I look at this.”
