Metro Parks Tacoma is accepting bids on a project to create a children’s play area at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, according to a legal notice published this week in the Tacoma Daily Index.

The project involves clearing a half-acre site in order to create a so-called Kids’ Zone and install a variety of amenities that include artificial trees, climbing walls, streams, playground equipment, and a picnic shelter. The project budget is approximately $850,000 to $900,000. The bid deadline expires at 10 a.m. on Thurs., Oct. 30. Metro Parks Tacoma will host two pre-bid meetings at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, located at 11601 Trek Drive E., in Eatonville on Thurs., Oct. 9, at 10 a.m., and on Tues., Oct. 14, at 10 a.m.
