Ward Lake Acquisition
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Olympia Parks, Arts & Recreation Department will use this grant to buy 9 acres on Ward Lake for a public swimming beach. Given that the property may well have been the last site large enough for a community, freshwater swimming area, the city bought the property and is seeking reimbursement. The lake is an aquifer-fed kettle; 66.8 acres in size, and has 1.3 miles of shoreline. The 9-acre property is scheduled for master planning in 2009 with development completed by 2019. The city will contribute $1.5 million voter-approved bonds. (08-1596)
