The Winthrop Kiwanis 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.
