Ercolini Park Acquisition

Status
Funded in 2005
WWRP Applicant: City of Seattle WWRP Category: Local Parks WWRP Grant: $245,000 Applicant Match: $610,000 Project Type: Acquisition County: King  Legislative District: 34th 

This project is requesting assistance to help the City of Seattle complete the acquisition of 0.53 acres in West Seattle that will be developed into a much needed neighborhood park. There are no other parks within a one mile radius of this site. This property is a flat half-acre site that lies west of the West Seattle Junction Hub Urban Village. Its acquisition and development into a neighborhood park will address the needs of the increasing population within this urban village, and densely developed single-family residential area to the west that presently has no usable open space within easy walking distance and accessible via major bus routes. Acquisition of this property will complete an action item in the City's Pro Parks Levy approved by Seattle Citizens and directly address the lack of usable park spaces in one of Seattle's geographical Urban Villages.

State Senators cherry pick projects, ignore WWRP rankings

The State Senate's proposed budget slashes Washington Wildlife & Recreation Program funding to almost half of what Governor Inslee recommended while favoring poorly ranked projects over highly ranked ones. The WWRP's independent ranking system is the key to its years of success, ensuring only the best projects get funded. Take action & urge your legislators to restore full funding today!

LWCF full funding bill reintroduced

Sens. Baucus (MT), Burr (NC), and Wyden (OR) & 4 cosponsors have introduced a new bill, the “Land and Water Conservation Authorization and Funding Act of 2013,” to provide full, permanent and dedicated funding for LWCF. Please join us in asking Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray to renew their support and once again co-sponsor the bill!
