Kenneydell Park Phase 2 Development
- Status
- Funded in 1999
Thurston County is seeking WWRP’s funding assistance to acquire and develop 23 acres of park property next to the existing Kenneydell Park, located southwest of Olympia on Black Lake. In 1992, Thurston County received a WWRP grant to develop this former Girl Scout camp into a community park with a swim beach. The Park has been tremendously popular, with over 90,000 visits in its first year. More parking and field facilities are urgently needed. To expand the opportunities in the area, the county plans to acquire the 23 acres located across the street and to develop that property with a variety of passive and active opportunities. The development portion of the project includes: additional parking, one soccer field, one softball field, restroom building, two picnic shelters, access trails, signing, and site infrastructure.
