Colburn Park Expansion and Splash Pad

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 Fife will use this grant to develop a splash pad with approximately 15 spray features and two ADA-compliant restooms with changing areas in Colburn Park. The sponsor will also purchase a 0.42-acre parcel at 5616 20th Street East to increase the size of the park. The primary recreational opportunities supported by this project are aquatic play and passive recreation.
