YSFG Program

The Youth Sport Facility Grant (YSFG) Program provides matching grant funds to rehabilitate or develop sports fields and facilities serving youth in King County.

We strive to facilitate new athletic opportunities for as many youth in the King County as possible. Successful YSFG projects require sound planning and cooperation between parties. Please contact us if you are not familiar with this program.

YSFG Project Highlight

Biking at Colonade King County Parks awarded the Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club a $48,000 Youth Sports Facility Grant to construct the Colonnade Mountain Bike Skills Course located under I-5 in Seattle. The bike course was built with thousands of hours of volunteer efforts and resulted in a truly unique recreational facility. We are partnering with BBTC to build a national caliber mountain bike skills park in King County’s Duthie Hill Park in 2008. The project was dedicated September 8th and is open to the public.
