Category Overview
Local Parks grants help protect these symbols of vibrant communities, providing places for families to gather and play and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle in an era when people spend increasing amounts of their time inside. The WWRP is the largest source of local parks funding in Washington, helping communities fund the acquisition, development, and renovation of vital recreation areas and green spaces.
Project Highlights
Develop 9.2 acres in an existing 26.2 acre park to expand a community greenbelt south of Wide Hollow Creek between 75th and 80th Avenue. This project will directly benefit existing and newly developed neighborhoods in the area and a new Middle School which opened fall 1996. This is the only park site located in the unincorporated West Valley portion of Yakima County. The existing park includes two tennis courts, restrooms, small and large play structures, and parking. Phase 2 includes a multipurpose hard court for basketball, in-line roller hockey and ice skating, a picnic plaza, group shelters, restrooms, sand volleyball court, horseshoe pits, soccer field, playground equipment, natural and hard surface trails, pedestrian bridge, drinking fountain, irrigation, picnic tables and parking.
