MCRA Park Infield Renovation

Status
Funded in 2011
WWRP Applicant: Mason County WWRP Category: Local Parks WWRP Grant: $275,500 Applicant Match: $275,660 Project Type: Development County: Mason  Legislative District: 35th 

Mason County will use this grant to renovate two infields at the Mason County Recreation Area Park near Shelton. The 30-acre sports complex hosts seven baseball and softball fields, and is used by multiple youth leagues, the Shelton School District, and tournaments. The county will replace the dirt infields with synthetic turf, and the outfields will remain grass. This project will improve field playability and reduce maintenance costs, rainouts, and the amount of water used at the park. The County also will make facilities accessible to people with disabilities by paving park pathways and the access to the bleachers and dugouts. The County will contribute $275,660 in cash, equipment, staff labor, and donations of equipment and labor.

RCO Project Number: 10-1064

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!
