The North Whidbey Pool, Park, and Recreation District (NWPPRD) was formed by a vote of our residents on November 21, 1977. The NWPPRD is a special district, which is a commission form of local government. Our commissioners are voted into office by our residents, and they enact District rules and policies. They approve budgets, oversee spending and hire and supervise the District Director.
In November 1980, District voters approved a $1,700,000 bond issue to construct the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool (JVMP), which opened in January 1983. The pool is dedicated and named after John Vanderzicht. Vanderzicht was born and raised in Oak Harbor and volunteered in his community for over 40 years. Mr. Vanderzicht was known as Mr. Oak Harbor because of his dedication to youth programming and 40 years of Rotary service. The District receives revenue from programs fees and a levy on property taxes if approved by the voters of the District.
In 2006 the District and the City of Oak Habor renewed their Interlocal Agreement. The City of Oak Harbor owns the land where the JVMP was built and is currently located. The District is not managed, nor does it receive any funding or other benefits from the City of Oak Harbor other than using the land. Every six (6) years, our District residents vote on whether to approve funding for the District. The District boundaries are notated in green on the map to the right.
The District also owns and operates Clover Valley Park, located off of Ault Field Road at the intersection of Oak Harbor St. Clover Valley has an off-leash dog park and two ball fields available for use.
