W. Hylebos Park Boardwalk Replacement 06
- Status
- Funded in 2007
Federal Way will use this grant to replace a deteriorating boardwalk in the West Hylebos Wetlands Park. The .7-mile boardwalk will maintain its existing alignment, with a few minor revisions to improve accessibility and reduce interference with trees. West Hylebos Wetlands Park offers a unique opportunity for recreation, exercise, and education in a forested wetland, in the midst of a highly urban area. Replacing the boardwalk is a key to ensuring that this resource remains available to visitors. The non-profit group, Friends of the Hylebos Wetlands, uses this park for interpretive walks and as a teaching laboratory for children. Federal Way will contribute $1.1 million in cash and other grants.
Location
From I-5 take Exit 142 toward Federal Way. Head west on S. 348th Street. Travel approximately 1 mile and turn left at 4th Avenue S, between the old cabins and an electrical substation. Go a short distance down the road to park at the trail head to the boardwalk.
