The Town of Twisp is looking to enhance this area by renovating our existing playground and basketball court which will add to our pool, band shelter, and picnic shelter.

Twisp Park Playground & Basketball Court

Status
Funded in 2003
WWRP Applicant: Town of Twisp WWRP Category: Local Parks WWRP Grant: $31,860 Applicant Match: $31,860 Project Type: Development County: Okanogan  Legislative District: 12th 

The town of Twisp, in Okanogan County, proposes to create a full-service facility at its local park by renovating the existing playground and basketball court. This will enhance the park's facilities, which include a pool, band shelter, and picnic shelter. The current playground and basketball court are unsafe and inadequate for the needs of the community. The playground does not meet current safety and accessibility requirements, it is small, and it is not age appropriate for toddlers. The popular basketball court has a badly cracked surface. Twisp will construct a new playground that will be age appropriate for toddler to school age children and which will stand up to weather conditions, especially the cold winters. The basketball court will be resurfaced with a rubberized material that will be more safe and functional. A barrier-free accessible path from the parking lot to the play area will also be built.

RCO Project Number: 02-1329
