Spokane Valley will use this grant to buy 7.8 acres for a park in the rapidly developing Greenacres neighborhood. The property is farmland adjacent to 16 acres owned by the Central Valley School District. The city and school district will partner to develop a neighborhood park at a new elementary school. Spurred by the rapid transformation from rural to urban, the Greenacres neighborhood has been a constant presence at park plan meetings.

Spokane Valley will contribute $306,176.
