Tollgate Park site is uniquely suited to connect the community with food through farm-based experimental learning opportunities including vegetable farming and growing small livestock, u-pick opportunities for the public, youth programs and camps, workshops for adults and operating a farm stand. The current construction project onsite includes a barn, infrastructure to support farming, and improvements to public access to the Farmhouse area with an entry/exit point and small parking area. During this project, the farmhouse kitchen will also get the final finishing touches. This project is funded by the 2018 connect & protect Capital Bond. Learn more about this project here.
Park projects to-date have been strongly supported by the community through capital bond measures, and grant programs such as the Washington State Heritage Capital Projects Grant and King County 4 Culture Saving Landmarks Grant that have funded to rehabilitation of the farmhouse for use as a community space. King County Youth and Amateur Sports Grant program funded rehabilitation of the central meadow for natural grass multi-use fields designed for two full size cricket fields with alternate use as soccer fields suitable for both youth and adult use.
