Give To The Winthrop Kiwanis

The Winthrop Family Park Project…

For nearly 10 years, Kiwanis Club of Winthrop has had a vision to improve the town property adjacent to the ballfield. In 2020, the Club committed to making the vision a reality in the form of a Family Activity Park.

Surveys were conducted with participation of Methow Valley School District students, community members, and the Town Council. Two open houses were held to gain feedback on draft plans for the park.

In 2021, with volunteer assistance from a landscape architect, preliminary drawings were developed showing activities and spaces within the park, with the main attraction continuing to be the existing pump track. A four-phase plan with cost estimates was created to be our guide for the ambitious project.

Today, we have begun phase one with a partnership with the Town of Winthrop. Grants have been written and submitted in hopes of obtaining funding for the project. We continue to seek opportunities for partnerships and funding. We hope you join us in the development of the Family Activity Park. 100% of your donation will go toward helping our vision become a reality.

The Winthrop Kiwanis Club was established in 1949 and has been in continuous operation ever since. The Winthrop Club currently has 32 members who come from throughout the Valley and contribute over 2,700 volunteer hours to the community. Each year the Club holds 4 fund raisers to support a wide variety of projects. We are proud of the fact that 100% of the net proceeds from our fundraisers go back into helping kids and the community.

Our Club meets every Tuesday at 7am at the Winthrop Red Barn…. Meetings run 1 hour…  We will serve you breakfast also!  🙂
