This particular project focuses on the needs and desires of the neighborhood residents. In addition to adding nearly two acres to the property known as Upper Kiwanis, it equips the park with modern, attractive recreational amenities including an 8,800 square -foot skate park, a youth baseball field, a volleyball court, basketball court, play equipment, a new restroom and parking. The goal is to provide an attractive, inviting neighborhood park for the citizens of this densely populated and economically depressed portion of Yakima Possibly the most unusual feature of this project, however, is the extent of community support for the proposal and the accompanying long-range plan for the Kiwanis area. Members of the Yakima Lions, Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs have joined forces to spearhead and advocate for the improvements this project brings and to provide 5500,000 towards the costs. This is in addition to the 5700,000 they contributed to the initial Kiwanis development which, completed in 2004, added 10.2 acres an upscale softball complex and paved parking to the park. Speaking on behalf of its citizens, the Yakima City Council has also authorized 5225,000 in bond funding for this proposal.
