Status
Funded in 2009
WWRP Applicant: City of Liberty Lake WWRP Category: Local Parks WWRP Grant: $441,762 Applicant Match: $921,253 Project Type: Acquisition & Development County: Spokane  Legislative District: 4th 

Liberty Lake will buy and develop Rocky Hill Park, a 13.2-acre community park. The city add landscaping, restrooms, paved pathways, two tennis courts, a community garden, a playground, picnic areas, and an informal amphitheater. The park is surrounded by neighborhoods and contains large expanses of open land. Rocky Hill is unique because it has some of the oldest existing structures in Liberty Lake, including a historic 1940s barn and an early 1900s well house. Liberty Lake is one of the fastest growing cities in Eastern Washington, with a population that has more than doubled to 7,500 since incorporation in 2001. Rocky Hill Park is being created to relieve the congestion Pavillion Park, the city’s only other park. The city will contribute $1,710,000 in cash and donations of labor and land. (08-1630)

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

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.
