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 renovate Uplands Park in downtown Kent. This holistic park renovation will see an all-new spray park installed, which will be the first spray park in Kent. Additional improvements will include a restroom, children’s play area, entry plaza, picnic shelter, shade structure, lighting, pathways, connections to the adjacent regional trail, site furnishings, utilities, and irrigation and landscaping improvements.
