Veteran’s Park Acquisition (Palmer Property)

Our Work / Water Access / Veteran’s Park Acquisition (Palmer Property)

Category Overview

Washington is famous for its gorgeous and abundant waterways, from the Salish Sea to the Nisqually River, but many communities lack open public beaches and waterfronts where everyone can enjoy picnicking, swimming, paddling, boating, and angling. Water Access projects fund public shoreline access, boat launches, and fishing docks to create more opportunities for water recreation.

Project Highlights

This project acquired three contiguous lots along the Puyallup River, providing a park, trail connection, and water access.
