Washougal to apply for grants to improve parks

The city of Washougal is seeking more than $100,000 of grant funding to improve the infrastructure at several of its parks.

The City is applying for a Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program local park grant from the Recreation and Conservation Office, asking for $35,000 to replace playground chips and ware mats at all city playgrounds, and $35,000 to replace its “outdated” lawn mower.
