The 2016 Parks Plan identified the need for new spraygrounds. In 2016, the City Council authorized staff to apply for a Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) matching grant to help fund a new sprayground at Woodruff Park. The City received the grant award with the passage of the capital budget by the State Legislature, in March 2018. The grant amount is $446,380.
The project includes a new sprayground, water treatment for the sprayground, new shelter, remodeling of the existing restrooms to meet ADA and other miscellaneous site improvements. Sprayground water will be stored in a 4,000 gallon underground storage tank and all water will be directed back to the storage tank. The water will be run through a treatment system that includes rapid sand filtration, Ultraviolet disinfection, chlorination and pH adjustment. The water will be replaced on a weekly basis.
This project was previously bid in April 2018. At that time, the City rejected the one bid received, which was for $940,445. The City has since allocated more funds to the project and rebid in this more favorable bidding time.
