Category Overview
The State Lands Development and Renovation category provides funding to two state agencies to repair, renovate, and develop outdoor recreation facilities on existing recreation lands. As the popularity of outdoor recreation increases in our state, these grants help address overcrowding, ensure our outdoor amenities are safe for public use, improve visitor experience, and allow more people to enjoy our great outdoors.
Project Highlights
The Department of Fish and Wildlife used this grant to redevelop the water access site known as the Nisqually Handicap Water Access Site in Thurston County on the Nisqually River. The scope of this project renovated the site to meet or exceed all accessibility standards by installing a new CXT toilet, renovating the pathways, install signage, native landscape planting, replacing the fishing shelter siding, renovating the parking area, placing log protection for vegetation, and installing fencing and wheel stops. The primary outdoor recreation opportunities provided at this location include bankside river fishing, wildlife viewing, and photography.
