Inventory Methodology Inventory data was gathered from field assessments completed in the fall of 2006. Additional facility data and site narratives were extracted from inventory efforts completed by city staff in 1991 and 2005. The management issues and recommendations are the result of site assessments, previous inventory efforts, staff recommendations and public comments. This chapter provides inventory information and site-specific recommendations for identified public sites managed by Centralia. Other area recreation providers are summarized in Appendix B. Detailed summaries of previous inventory efforts are also contained within this appendix. Inventories of Centralia’s 23 public sites are presented on the following pages.

Fort Borst Park Acreage 101.00 Park Type Community Park Location Borst Avenue, west of Interstate 5 Description Fort Borst Park is the most significant park facility in the city system. Because of its size, central location, varied natural features and diverse recreational opportunities, Fort Borst Park attracts large numbers of local and park users. This well developed park is located at the confluence of the Chehalis and Skookumchuck rivers and is the home to the historic Borst homestead, schoolhouse, arboretum and Fort Borst Blockhouse. In addition to being an important historic site, the park’s athletic facilities include full service little league, softball and youth soccer complexes comprising over four baseball fields, three softball fields and seven soccer fields. Additional athletic fields, an indoor pool and outdoor tennis complex are located nearby and jointly managed with the Centralia School District. Water access includes adjacent river frontages, Fort Borst Lake and concrete boat ramp along the Chehalis River. Fort Borst Park is very popular with large groups and includes group picnic, shelter and facility rentals. In addition, Fort Borst Park is home to the city park administration and maintenance staff and facilities. The park is a major recreational asset that establishes an important identity for Centralia. - 31 - City of Centralia Parks and Recreation Plan
