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
This grant funded the acquisition of a 651-acre regional park at the site of the former Northern State Hospital located near Sedro Woolley. Future development of the site will include active and passive recreation elements.
