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 scope of this project is to acquire .9 acre in the Ballard area in northwest Seattle. In addition, this project includes the demolition of the three structures currently on the property; dormitory, single-family house and detached garage.
