Wilmot Gateway Park – Acquisition

Our Work / Local Parks / Wilmot Gateway Park – Acquisition

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 acquisition secured a key parcel for the new city’s first park. Site is adjacent to State Route 202 and King County’s Sammamish River regional trail. Future development may include interpretive facilities, a non-motorized boat launch, picnic areas, and equestrian and pedestrian trails.
