The land and water conservation fund (LWCF) state and local assistance program provides matching grants to develop parks owned by states and local communities

The National Park Service administers this $2.94 million Project Grant award under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028. The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation received these funds to support outdoor recreation infrastructure development aligned with the state's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. The department will serve as the prime recipient and sub-award a portion of these funds to the City of Post Falls for facility improvements and developments at the Quarry Sports Complex.

The grant will deliver recreational facility enhancements and infrastructure improvements at the Quarry Sports Complex that will provide benefits to the general public and advance outdoor recreation opportunities in the Post Falls area. This project represents a matching grant structure whereby federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) dollars, derived from offshore oil and gas lease revenues, are combined with non-federal cost-share contributions to fund comprehensive park development and improvement initiatives.

Based on its outdoor recreation priorities, the state has selected grant projects to receive LWCF funding. LWCF grants are made pursuant to 54 U.S.C. 2003 and are funded by offshore oil and gas lease revenue, not tax dollars. In this project, the idaho department of parks and recreation will make a subaward to the city of post falls for developments at quarry sports complex. This project will benefit the general public.
