Wright Park Spray and Playground
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Tacoma Metropolitan Park District will use this grant to replace a 50-year-old wading pool with a spray ground and install a new playground in Wright Park. The park hosts many community events and is the location for the summer playground and free lunch program, serving about 4,000 children each summer. The spray ground will provide a safe and unique water play area. The park district will contribute $1,075,149 in voter-approved bonds, cash donations, and a private grant.
This project was organized and funded in honor of 12 year old Zina Linnik from McCarver Elementary School who was kidnapped and killed in 2007. This work helped the community create a safe place in Zina's memory as a way for her classmates and friends to heal. Take a moment to watch the video produced by TV Tacoma on this incredible legacy.
