Snohomish County Parks, Recreation and Tourism is in the early stages of developing a Site and Management plan for Lord Hill Regional Park, and will be hosting a public open house in the 4H Building of the Evergreen State Fairgrounds on Wednesday, June 21st from 6 -7:30 pm. Elements of the plan include:

- Establishing Natural Areas
- Site and design a new ADA accessible looping trail within the park
- Renovate and re-route existing hiking trails to establish a hiker-only trail system
- Site and design 2 miles of proposed new equestrian trails
- Renovate and re-route existing single track mountain bike tracks to reduce conflict with multi-use loops
- Site and design new mountain bike bypass routes to provide an uphill alternative to the Pipeline Trail and to reduce conflict with multi-use loops
- Site and design new mountain bike skill building single tracks for beginning and intermediate riders
- Perform Critical Area Studies in locations of proposed new trails and re-routes
- Targeted plant surveys by Washington Native Plant Society
- Evaluation of additional parking areas
