County: Skagit 
Legislative District: 40th 
WWRP Category: Local Parks
WWRP Grant: $322,000

Project Type: Development

Description:

The scope of this project is the construction of a children’s spay park and approximately 1200 LF of boardwalk through a wetland. These are the last two elements to be built in the extremely popular Kiwanis Park, located in the densest neighborhoods of Mount Vernon. The approximate 1200 SF proposed spray park will be located in the center of the park and promises to be an extremely popular attraction, complementing the existing uses of open grassy areas, little league field, picnic shelter and restrooms. The Boardwalk Trail will serve as the main pedestrian connection between the park and several multi-family housing complexes as well as an interpretive feature for all park users. It consists of a 600 lineal feet of boardwalk trail through a forested wetland complex. Interpretive elements will be located along and throughout the boardwalk addressing the wetland habitat. The boardwalk itself will serve as interpretive element being constructed with an extremely light footprint and of certified sustainable materials. The boardwalk is planned to be 6' wide and be ADA accessible. It has all federal and state permits. The public is extremely supportive of this project as was documented during the 2005 Kiwanis Park masterplan process.
