Overview
As the result of a gravel mine reclamation project, we have been given a playground site overlooking Puget Sound. It is the perfect location for families to relax & play together. It will keep kids active and healthy, while teaching them about the rich ecosystem of Puget Sound, resource conservation & reclamation. We interviewed hundreds of school children in five primary schools in our city. We asked them to help design their DREAM playground. Using their ideas, a playground specialist designed a 12,000 sq ft. creative, interactive, ADA accessible playground for children of all ages. It includes swings, shark tunnel, lighthouse, a whale, sea life box, boats, slides, climbing walls, and a "Galloping Gertie" bridge. Maritime and avian wildlife structures will capture our community's unique spirit and history. We are raising funds & recruiting 750+ volunteers to build (in one week) this unique, "kid designed", educational, community playground.
How will the 50K be Used? |

| Budget Notes: Sewer Utility (the property owner) is applying for a Federal grant to build a picnic structure next to the playground.They have constructed the parking and asphalt path leading to the site. Individual & business donations, picket sales, & fund raising events will provide additional funding. | |
| $ 15,000 | Engineering & Construction drawings |
| $ 35,000 | specialized construction materials that can't be "donated" locally |
Thank you for voting! Why not help promote this idea?
