OTHER INDIVIDUAL GRANTS Approved for Funding in 2010

Sun Lakes State Park Amphitheater

Our contributors made possible a $12,000 donation from the Foundation to the new 125-seat amphitheater being built at Sun Lakes State Park.  The amphitheater provides an enhanced camping experience, with a place for presentations and other programming within the park.

Larrabee State Park Trail Improvements

A $2,000 gift allowed the Foundation to partner with the Washington Trails Association and gain over 1900 volunteer-hours worth of work on trail improvements in the park.  A similar gift has been made for 2011.

San Juan Islands State Parks Safety Ladders

In cooperation with the members of the Women’s Interclub Council (representing the recreational boating community), the Foundation is making a grant to State Parks to install safety ladders on docks in several state parks in the San Juan Islands, where there are real safety issues if someone should fall into the water- it is not easy, absent a ladder, to get back onto the dock.  Less than $2,000 will improve safety at nine locations.
