Everett to recreate Clark Park gazebo in new location
EVERETT — The city of Everett is planning to build a recreation of the now-disassembled Clark Park gazebo at a new location, city staff confirmed Monday.
In 2024, the city removed the century-old structure to help make room for a new off-leash dog area in the north Everett park. Historical advocates spoke out against its removal, arguing that it was an important piece of Everett history in the city’s oldest park that deserved preserving. But the local neighborhood association and city staff had said it should be removed, citing safety issues, and said removing the structure would help activate the park space.
The new gazebo is planned to be built in Harborview Park, located along Mukilteo Boulevard on the west side of the city. It will be “faithful to local architect Benjamin Turnbull’s original design,” city spokesperson Simone Tarver wrote in a statement Monday. (Turnbull was the man who designed the gazebo, along with other historical buildings in the city).
That park was chosen because of its views of Possession Sound, Tarver wrote. The new structure would provide a covered outdoor space at the park for community celebrations.
