DeMolay Property Acquisition
- Status
- Funded in 2011
The Peninsula Metropolitan Park District will use this grant to buy 3.56 acres, including about a quarter mile of shoreline, for a park, and to protect valuable habitat. The DeMolay property is a pristine sand spit on the north east tip of Fox Island, just west of Gig Harbor. The purchase will protect a treasured piece of waterfront from development while providing access to the water for the public. Protection of the natural area is another benefit of this acquisition. The property is for sale and likely would be developed for homes. The district will contribute more than $1.2 million in cash and donated land.
