The Lacey Parks and Recreation Department will use this grant to buy 67.09 acres for the future Pleasant Glade Community Park, which is in an area with no developed community parks. The City wants to buy land in the Woodland Creek corridor to add to the 313 acres currently owned by the city or protected. The purchase also will help improve water quality in the Henderson Inlet watershed and preserve the wildlife corridor along the creek. The land is up for sale and could be developed with more than 300 houses. The City will contribute $1.3 million in cash, conservation futures, donated land, and staff labor.
