“Minority and low-income populations face enormous inequities in accessing the “blue space” found on Seattle’s lakes and waterways. The Green Lake Community Boathouse is uniquely positioned to help close this gap…” – Tom Hull, Chair, Greater Seattle YMCA
“This project will allow us to serve even more of these special needs with the ability to increase programs, and offer more adaptive programs…” – Kyle Bywater, SPR Specialized Programs
Progress
Volunteer leaders from the Green Lake Rowing Advisory Committee and the Seattle Canoe and Kayak Club in partnership with staff from the Associated Recreation Council are partnering to raise $6.5 million to build the Green Lake Community Boathouse. Thanks to the generosity of individuals, families, and foundations and public grants, we are on pace to break ground in 2020.
