The Metropolitan Park District of Tacoma used two RCO grants to develop more than five miles of a loop trail around the 765-acre park to separate walkers, runners, and cyclists from cars. Work included developing a trailhead with parking and a restroom, striping, installing barriers and pedestrian bridges, and improving the Pearl Street entrance.
The park district used a $3.2 million grant from the RCO Recreation Grants program and contributed $2.7 million in voter-approved bonds and a $500,000 grant from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund as match.
