Des Moines Creek Trail- Waterfront Connection
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Des Moines Parks and Recreation Department will use this grant to pave the final mile of the Des Moines Creek Trail. This 2.5-mile, gravel bicycle and pedestrian trail connects three park systems - the 70-acre Des Moines Creek Park, the 22.5-acre Des Moines Beach Park Historic District and Tidelands, and the 14-acre Des Moines Marina. The trail travels through old growth forests and areas with salmon spawning grounds and a fish ladder, by two historic landmarks and a mountain bike facility, before ending at the waterfront. This trail project provides the much anticipated waterfront link, connecting Des Moines neighborhoods, recreation facilities and schools, SeaTac, SeaTac Airport, a future light rail station, and the South King County Regional Trail System to the Puget Sound in downtown Des Moines. The city will contribute $589,960 in federal funding, cash, cash donations, and a voter-approved levy. (08-1635)
