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
The City of Kent will use this grant to acquire the largest remaining private holding at Clark Lake Park. This acquisition consists of a single 16-acre ownership currently used for residential purposes and will complete the city’s assemblage of properties resulting in a 149-acre intact passive use park. This addition will allow for completion of a loop trail with additional views of Clark Lake and will create unique opportunities for a more formal park use area within Clark Lake Park. The primary recreation uses at this park are walking, hiking, birdwatching and other passive recreation.
