The Rotary Club of Arlington is excited to announce that the  Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians are donating $500,000 to help complete the planned splash pad at Haller Park in Arlington.

The City of Arlington is partnering with us to maximize the donations we have received by applying for a Washington State Recreation grant that would match funds raised dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000.  We are committed to raising additional funds this year through Duck Dash ticket sales, sponsorships and Friends of the Park campaign to do so.

Rotary loves Haller Park - it has been our home for Duck Dash for almost 30 years. We want to provide a fun and safe experience for kids and community members to stay cool safely on hot summer days. The City of Arlington will receive a response on the Washington State Recreation Grant in October 2016.  The goal is to break ground in July 2017, after the Fourth of July.

We are beyond grateful to the Stillaguamish Tribe for their generous donation that will make the splash pad a reality sooner than we hoped and even more amazing than we’d planed.  Thank you @stillaguamish.tribe! (https://www.facebook.com/stillaguamish.tribe/)
