The LWCF Program was established through federal legislation in <br />1965 and has been instrumental in the development of parks throughout the <br />Uni ted States. The LWCF Grant Fund requires a 50 percent match of non- <br />federal money, with an exception made for Community Development Block <br />Grant funds. The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency <br />requests Council's approval to submit three LWCF grant applications. <br /> <br />The Kiwanis Barrier-Free Playground was designed to provide the <br />opportunity for special needs children to play and camp in a park <br />setting. The proposed project will provide ADA compliant restroom <br />facilities for children and families using the playground. Projected Park <br />Acquisition and Development funds will provide the required match. <br /> <br />55A-1 <br />
