Community Partnerships and Grant Program (CPG)

The CPG Program is a public/private partnership initiative that empowers user groups, sports associations, recreation clubs, and other non-profit organizations to construct, develop, program, and/or maintain new or enhanced public recreation facilities on King County land in a manner that does not result in new publicly funded operations and maintenance costs.

King County contributes use of land and capital improvement grants up to $100,000 for successful partnership proposals. Community partners contribute the necessary additional capital and in-kind resources to develop the new or enhanced facility, as well as, most of the operations, maintenance, and programming typically through volunteers and/or revenue based programs or other resources.

There are currently over 30 CPG projects in various stages of development and implementation including preliminary discussions, initial negotiations, pre-planning, design development, permitting, construction and/or completed projects with ongoing operations.

The CPG Program has been very successful in leveraging the committment, passion, and resources of community-based organizations to create new public recreation opportunities for citizens in King County while not increasing publicly funded operations and maintenance costs.
