Manchester Stormwater Park in Kitsap County

Stormwater Parks

Stormwater parks enhance communities by treating stormwater and providing recreational opportunities. PSRC was awarded a Puget Sound National Estuary Program grant to help catalyze the development of new stormwater parks.

PSRC, with the help of many partners, developed guidance on planning these parks.

Guidance for planning stormwater parks

The guidance provides information on:

  • Steps in planning a stormwater park
  • Integrating equity
  • Maintenance considerations
  • Stormwater parks built to date and lessons learned from them
  • Funding for planning, construction, and maintenance
