Stormwater parks enhance communities by treating stormwater and providing recreational opportunities. PSRC was awarded a Puget Sound National Estuary Program grant to help catalyze the development of new stormwater parks.
The project will:
- Share lessons learned from already-built stormwater parks.
- Provide technical assistance for the planning of six new stormwater parks in the following communities: Kirkland, Kitsap County, Lynnwood, Marysville, Puyallup, and Woodinville.
- Develop guidance on planning for stormwater parks.
