The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism will use a $563,170 Project Grant award from the National Park Service under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916) to improve community access and accommodate pedestrians and cyclists accessing park resources in Chisholm Creek Park in Wichita, Kansas. As a sub-awardee, the City of Wichita will receive funding to develop a 10-foot-wide paved walk-bike path around the park's lake, construct a paved parking lot, and install an ADA-compliant fishing dock at the site. The grant funds will support increasing accessibility for neighborhood residents and other park users to natural areas by developing trails and facilities that accommodate different abilities at one of the largest parks in Wichita, consistent with the program's goal of supporting outdoor recreation projects included in state plans. The award period is from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025.
