Good morning, Walla Walla.
🏘️ Community
On May 29, the College Place community celebrated the grand reopening of Lions Park—after eight years of work—when hundreds attended and Mayor Norma Hernandez highlighted ADA improvements like wider sidewalks and new bridges.
Families enjoyed the accessible playground, splash pad, and Farmers Market booths as the park took on its role as a new town square for local events.
🎓 Education
College Place Public Schools approved a new five-year strategic plan on May 27 that sets clear goals for positive culture, student success, fiscal stewardship, and community partnerships.
The plan was developed through 23 focus groups and consultation and will include success indicators with annual progress reports — it is meant to build on the district’s established strengths without changing its course.
