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
This project will acquire 23.7 acres presently owned by DOT. The purpose of this project is to acquire land to develop an athletic field complex. We wish to create a complex for multipurpose ball fields and active recreational court opportunities. The park will be equipped with a one hundred twenty space parking lot, picnic pavilion, restroom facilities, storage facility and concrete pathways. The DOT property is connected to May Creek Regional Park. This will add to the existing 85.5 acre regional park and bring the total acreage to 109.2. Acquiring this land will provide a major trailhead for access into May Creek Park increasing the park’s accessibility.
