Category Overview
Washington is famous for its gorgeous and abundant waterways, from the Salish Sea to the Nisqually River, but many communities lack open public beaches and waterfronts where everyone can enjoy picnicking, swimming, paddling, boating, and angling. Water Access projects fund public shoreline access, boat launches, and fishing docks to create more opportunities for water recreation.
Project Highlights
The City of Lake Forest Park successfully purchased two waterfront parcels located near the City’s Town Center, City Hall, the Burke-Gilman Trail, and next door to the existing Lyon Creek Waterfront Preserve. This property is situated on the northwest shores of Lake Washington and is approximately 1.65 acres of lake front property. During this phase, the City removed building structures in the RCO boundary completing its early works deconstruction phase with the purchase.
