Current Projects
Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve (SHIP)
The SHIP project was established to preserve and protect a small, but very special wetland tucked away in Anacortes near the busy Washington State Ferry Terminal. In addition to the 25 acres of freshwater wetlands, there are also five acres of upland habitat and 2,000 feet of sandy beach and subtidal eelgrass beds. It is a rich and interesting area, with an abundance of plants and wildlife. Learn more at the Anacortes Parks Foundation News page.

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.
Volunteer Park
On 14th Street and "H" Avenue. About 24 acres have been developed largely through volunteer efforts and management of Anacortes Parks Foundation. The park currently includes a Field Turf Fastpitch/Little League field, and two regulation baseball fields. In the plans are a football/soccer stadium, 400 meter surfaced track and associated amenities.
Causland Memorial Park
This unique 2 acre park, located at 8th Street and "N" Avenue, was built in the 1920's by John LePage. The park features decorative rock and mosaics, a small bandstand and amphitheater, ornamental shrubs and a picnic area. A portion of the park honors Anacortes veterans from World War I through the Vietnam War. The park is on the National Register of Historic Places and with the help of the APF is undergoing a restoration program.
