Wapato Park Miranda Property Acquisition
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Tacoma Metropolitan Park District will use this grant to buy .22 acres, the last remaining privately owned waterfront property in Wapato Park. For the past 22 years, the park district has worked to purchase privately owned properties within the park. At 34 acres, Wapato Lake is the largest lake within the city. This property provides the public with the missing 45-foot link along the shoreline that will enable the district to complete a multi-purpose trail system around the lake and provide additional access for fishing, paddleboats, and model boat racing. The park district will contribute $231,663 from voter-approved bonds. This project was the top ranked project of 27 competing for funding in the water access category of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program. (08-1096)
