OLYMPIA—Washington State Parks invites the public to an open house to discuss the needs and future of winter recreation at Fields Spring State Park, located at 992 Park Road, near Anatone, WA. The event takes place on Saturday, Feb. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Staff from the park and the Winter Recreation Program will provide a warm fire, cocoa, cider and snacks.

Staff want to hear how visitors play in the snow and how they would like to use the park for winter fun in the future. Participants can provide input through discussions with staff, by filling out comment cards or taking a survey.

Fields Spring State Park sits in the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington. In winter, the park transforms into a Sno-Park with groomed cross-country ski trails, snowshoeing opportunities and a long sledding hill. Additionally, Fields Spring has year-round overnight accommodations and camping and is considered one of the best places in Washington to view the Blue Mountains.

Parkgoers who can’t make the open house can fill out comment cards available in the park through March 31. People can also take an online survey or call the park at (509) 256-3332.
