Several projects to support our most visited State Park.

Cama Beach State Park currently is one of the Foundation’s largest commitments. The WA State Parks Foundation is the contributions vehicle for generous private philanthropy to make this new park a reality. Cama Beach will hopefully open in 2008-2009.

The Washington State Parks Foundation is helping build 2.5 miles of new trails in the park.

Through a generous donation from Ralph and Karen Munro, the Foundation helped fund a major upgrade to the park.

This park has a new Foundation-funded interpretive kiosk at the visitor center that tells the story of the Ice Age Flood, perhaps the most significant geological event for Washington State. The panels will assist visitors to better understand the forces which shaped the surrounding landscape. Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park is a 7,470-acre park with year-round camping at Wanapum Recreational Area. The park features 27,000 feet of freshwater shoreline on the Wanapum Reservoir on the Columbia River. Petrified wood was discovered in the region in the early 1930s, which led to creation of the park as a national historic preserve. The Foundation funded installation of a series of panels describing the Great Floods that swept through Eastern Washington during the last Ice Age.

The Foundation is a sponsor of the WA State Parks Family & Youth Diversity Camping Program as well as WA State Parks Art in the Park Program.

The WA State Parks Foundation helped fund an outdoor ampitheatre for nature presentations.

Funded the restoration of a bridge as part of a large rail to trail project with partners.

Foundation developed materials for an Interpretive Center

The Foundation helped restore a six-acre section of critical habitat back to natural conditions in an area of Lake Sammamish State Park.

The Foundation funded much-needed improvements in this coastal trail.

This Eastern Washington Park has reopened and now features greater access and increased interpretive displays for the diverse population that uses the park

We provided funding for installation of bridge decking for the Willapa Hills Trail near Menlo, Washington in 2007.
