Sail Sand Point Grants

Sail Sand Point

Demand for Sail Sand Point (SSP)'s programming is rapidly increasing. The diverse community of Magnuson Park deserves premier access to the unique asset it has at its back door: waterfront access to Lake Washington. Current boathouse facilities are unsafe, unwelcoming and not fully accessible to all members of our community. SSP seeks to create a welcoming, inclusive, fully ADA accessible and world-class community boating center that will allow more people to experience the mental and physical health benefits of recreating in the outdoors, and to provide safe access and oversight to the lake. After completing an extensive feasibility study (including predesign) and community engagement process, we now seek NMF funds to conduct the next critical steps in our project: site surveys, permitting and tribal and other stakeholder consultation and community outreach.

Sail Sand Point

Sail Sand Point provides numerous services to people with disabilities each year in partnership with Outdoors for All, Children's Hospital and Wounded Warriors. This year we will host a large kickoff day in May to invite interested participants to our site to learn about our program options, explore our boats and gear, meet the volunteers and staff running programs, and understand how they might participate. This project will be completed by July 2025.
