Vashon Athletic Fields Improvements Phase 2 and 3

Status
Funded in 2009
WWRP Applicant: Vashon Park District WWRP Category: Local Parks WWRP Grant: $394,904 Applicant Match: $496,729 Project Type: Development County: King  Legislative District: 34th 

The Vashon Park District will use this grant to develop fields for use by youth baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and football leagues at the north Vashon Elementary site. The district will grade and install drainage and irrigation systems, new top soil, and grass seed. It also will add field lighting, a restroom, a concession area, storage, backstops, fencing, dugouts, and spectator benches. In recent years, a lack of fields has limited youth sports on Vashon Island. These improved fields will allow for many more teams to practice at once and into the dark hours, and provide space for tournaments. The district will contribute $628,876 from a local grant, a voter-approved levy, and donations of cash, equipment, labor, and materials. (08-1340)
