Parks Grants

King County Parks offers a variety of grant programs that aim to preserve and increase access and equity by supporting communities and partners who are investing in parks, trails, open spaces, recreational facilities, and programming.

2024 grant awards for Youth and Amateur Sports Grants (YASG) and the Healthy Communities and Parks Fund Tier 1 and Tier 2 were announced in July. The full list of awards can be found here. We expect the next request for applications to open in the first half of 2025.
