Completed Projects
Kiwanis Meadows
This year Kiwanis Meadows was completed and dedicated as a farmily park that can be used for soccer and other recreational purposes. A playground and half-basketball court, and more parking at the north end completes the "Family Park" project, and we are very proud of the effort. Funds were generously donated by the local Noon Kiwanis Club. Planning and construction was managed by APF with much help from the City of Anacortes and local contractors.
