Skansie Brothers Park Acquisition
- Status
- Funded in 2004
This one-acre property acquisition lies immediately south of Gig Harbor's Jerisich Park in Pierce County. The site will provide the only urban park with waterfront/boating access and upland recreation space. Combined, Jerisich and Skansie Brothers Parks will offer transient moorage, sewage pumpout services, restrooms, picnic area, as well as saltwater access for small watercraft and fishing activities. Skansie Brothers Park adds 102 waterfront feet and 121 feet of multipurpose uplands and tidelands to the Jerisich Park area which has no significant upland space. Planned improvements include walkways, park benches, picnic tables, and a covered open structure for community gatherings, events, and celebrations. The structure is a joint City and local Rotary Centennial project.
