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 Olympia will use this grant to acquire approximately 60 acres that will be used to develop a community park. The property is in Olympia’s Southeast Urban Growth Area on Yelm Highway near Wiggins Road. In the future, this park will likely include athletic fields and other park amenities. The primary opportunities provided by this project are active and passive recreation.
