Kenneth Leo Marvin Veterans Memorial Park
- Status
- Funded in 2007
Gig Harbor will use this grant to develop 6.76 acres into a neighborhood park. Development will include installing a picnic shelter, benches, pathways with interpretive signs, a play structure, parking, a restroom, water fountain, and a youth soccer-baseball field. Work also will include creating grassy open spaces and trails through the forest. Currently, the only fields available within the city's service area are multi-purpose play yards that are not well-suited for competitive play. The area's three youth organizations (with more than 300 teams and 4,000 players) must pay fees now to play. Gig Harbor will contribute $450,492.
