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 Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office will subgrant the LWCF award to the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation to renovate the one-acre Little Brook Park in Northeast Seattle. Little Brook Park serves as the only publicly accessible green space within the neighborhood. The project goal is to redesign and enhance the park to better serve the growing neighborhood and diverse residents. The project includes adding a central turf lawn for recreation and gathering, new play equipment, community garden, site furnishings including seating, picnic tables and grills, and a looped exercise walking path all interwoven within natural surroundings and existing trees. The scope of this project is more fully described in Federal Agreement awarded under Grant No. P24AP01403 (53-00777) attached in PRISM under RCO Project No. 22-1258.
