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 Wenatchee acquired a 35.70 acre parcel for open space and trail linkages between the developed residential areas of the community and the Wenatchee Foothills. The primary outdoor recreation opportunity provided will be hiking and mountain biking.
