GIG HARBOR PARKS APPRECIATION


We are so lucky to have so many great parks in our city. During the time I have worked for the City of Gig Harbor we haved added Skansie Brothers Park, Donkey Creek Park, Adam Tallman Park, Gig Harbor Skate Park, the new Vollyball Sand Court, Eddon Boat Park and Wilkinson Farm Park - all now favorite park spots well used by our area residents.


In the end of May, Gig Harbor's westside will have a new park as well when the Kenneth Leo Marvin Veterans Memorial Park is dedicated on May 20th. This park has been in the works for many years now and will bring great additional park space to an area of town that, up til now, has not had much in city park facilities. Watch for more information on this new park soon.


In the meantime, if you love parks, April 18th is a great chance to show your support. The City of Gig Harbor, PenMet Parks and the Key Peninsula Parks will partner in PARKS APPRECIATION DAY. This all day event around the Gig Harbor Peninsula provides much needed volunteer support for all parks and open spaces we are blessed with.


Groups or individuals are encouraged to get out and help on Parks Appreciation Day, Saturday April 18th. Support your parks and make a difference. Find out more by contacting Terri Reed at the City of Gig Harbor at reedt@cityofgigharbor.net or (253) 853-7640.
