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 Napavine used this grant to build a covered picnic shelter at Mayme Shaddock Park. The shelter includes a new park kitchen with restrooms and ADA compliant pathways with lighting. The city did have to reach out to Lewis County for additional funds due to the cost of inflation, which required an extension. Overall, the finished project was exactly what the city and citizens pictured.
