Parks for People–Wenatchee Valley

At The Trust for Public Land, we believe that everyone—in particular every child—should have a park, garden, playground, trail, and other natural place within a 10-minute walk from home. Parks are where we come together — to exercise, visit with neighbors, and celebrate our traditions. They are where our kids play and build strong, healthy bodies. Every neighborhood deserves a great park—and every Wenatchee Valley family deserves to live near one.

In Wenatchee and East Wenatchee, The Trust for Public Land is working with city leaders, neighborhood groups, and residents to create the parks that residents need to build fitness, celebrate shared history, and strengthen community bonds. We are helping to revitalize Kiwanis Methow Park—already a community gathering place in Wenatchee. And we are working to build a new park in East Wenatchee, designed specifically to improve fitness and health. 

Your voice is needed to ensure that our communities include safe parks, beautiful natural areas for children and families, and gathering spaces that celebrate history and heritage.  Help us create a coalition of residents, organizations, businesses, and community leaders to advocate for and fund these parks.
