- Funded in 2011
The Tacoma Metropolitan Park District will use this grant to upgrade the 20-acre Franklin Park.

The district also will add walking paths throughout the park to meet new standards for outdoor accessibility, install a rain garden drainage system, expand the community garden, install park furnishings and landscaping, and upgrade parking and street access. The park is in the Hilltop community, which is one of the most economically challenged, socially diverse areas in Tacoma. The district will contribute $536,039 in voter-approved bonds.
