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 focus on a new playground and asphalt pump track as well as furnishings including ADA picnic tables, bike racks, and benches. The primary recreation opportunity provided by this project is active play.
