LAKEWOOD, WA — The City of Lakewood has secured $3.7 million in capital funding from the state Legislature, which it says will go to support several quality of life improvements.
The bulk of the money, $3.2 million, will go to improve American Lake Park, Wards Lake Park, and Fort Steilacoom Park, the city said. Proposed improvements include additional public waterfront access, repairs to sport fields, the creation of new walking trails, even a new dog park. (Dog lovers: they have not yet said which park will get the dog park, sorry.)
