Tenino City Park Expansion - WWRP
- Status
- Funded in 2009
Tenino will use this grant to buy 6.27 acres of land near the quarry pool and athletic fields to expand Tenino City Park. The park offers a huge, spring-fed quarry pool that is on the national historic register, camping, ball fields, an historic train depot, and a trail head for the Yelm-Tenino Trail, which intersects the Chehalis Western Trail. The city will buy land that is forested and will protect existing park resources and views, and also provide public ownership of property that provides a vital link between properties owned by the Heernett Foundation. This project represents the first phase in a partnership between the city and the foundation to provide a trail corridor, wildlife habitat, and environmental education. The property owner has given Tenino until summer 2009 to buy the land before it is logged. The city will contribute $57,500 in materials, equipment, labor, and donations of cash, labor, and land.
