This nationally competitive part of LWCF funds land purchase, development and rehabilitation of parks in qualifying urban and tribal areas. It suits urban park owners planning park and playground renovations.
Could a playground win this?
Strong fit Medium confidence
The program pays to develop and rehabilitate parks, so a new or renovated park playground fits. The project must be in a qualifying urban or tribal area, and the competition is national.
The Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program provides 50-50% matching reimbursement grants for the acquisition, development, and rehabilitation of parks in qualifying urban and tribal areas.
It is a nationally competitive subprogram of the Land and Water Conservation Fund State and Local Assistance Program.
About the match
The applicant pays half of the project cost and the grant pays the other half. Funds come as a reimbursement. The page does not say whether in-kind contributions count.
On a $50,000 playground project, you would provide $25,000 and the grant up to $25,000.
How to apply
- Open the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program page on the DCR site.
- Check that your park is in a qualifying urban or tribal area.
- Plan to cover half of the cost and pay expenses before reimbursement.
